Testing Waters: Built LS block
Just testing to see what kinda interest is out there for the block currently in my car...
Block is a B18A1 block, I believe '93
Current bore is at 81.5mm
Has a NuFormz block guard that was professionally installed by Engine Lab of Tampa
All machine work was also done by engine lab
Has Eagle ESP HBeam Rods (the strongest ones with the bigger bolts) and CP 9:1 pistons (were actually 8.7:1 in my setup, so it does vary)
Rods and pistons were all balanced
99 LS b18b crank was also balanced and micropolished by engine lab
Assembly was done by myself using brand new type R oil pump and water pump
I used Clevite 77 bearings, as they utilize the same trimetal as the OE bearings
everything was plastigauged twice to be sure it is all within spec
This block is currently still in my car and running with about 20kmiles, and makes perfect compression all the way across...
I know I probably left some things out, so if you have any questions just ask...
Asking price is $1500 OBO
