I have a friend selling a ls1 with a spun rod bearing fro $500. It's everything minus the intake. The crank is turnable. I'm thinking about buying and fixing it and putting it in the camaro. Either get a custome harness or buy the carb setup for it. What do you guys think. Good price or not?

Is the bearing actually spun or just scarred?

Hop oon it for that price....even if you parted it out, you'd make twice that amount.
I've 'usually' seen an LS1 & trans go for $2000-$2500 normally....

You could sell the heads alone for $300 or more if you decide to part it out. But for $500 that is a hell of an engine with tons of potential!

Do you guys know what it would take to hook up the ls1 to my th350. As far as what I would need to buy and modify. And how much I would spend?

Ya would need a flexplate from a 97-98 LS1 to bolt up the turbo convertor. TCI also makes a flexplate that'll work. The convertor might need shimming, but everything should bolt up.

Fix the LS1!!!! And since it's an LS1, go ahead and spring for a little extra money, get a computer for it outta a wrecked 98-02 Camaro and set it up for a throttle body and crank-fired ignition. I love my 4bbl 78 LT 350. But the LS1 in my '02 SS is quite nice.

LS1 heads are that expensive? I have 6 of them here that are brand new, unused, bare machined castings that I was going to sell.
Hehehe...cool...get more goodies for the camaro. Anyone want a pair? $300US a set?
