355 shortblock for sale

I'm selling my rebuilt 355 as I decided to put an LS1 in my Formula instead of this engine. The engine has been balanced. It has a new crank, Eagle I beam rods, Clevite bearings, Hastings Moly rings, Probe forged -4cc flat top pistons (will give 10:1 compression with 65cc combustion chamber heads). It will come with a Cloyes dual true roller timing chain, flywheel, stock oil pump if you want it, oil pan, motor mount brackets. I also have the stock iron l98 350 heads that I will throw in for free. They do need a rebuild though. $1,500.
I have the receipt for the work.

Local pickup/drop off only

Re: 355 shortblock for sale

steve a little suggestion to you.....

how i have ever sold any big items like that is make it as easy on the buyer as possible. borrow the wifeys 4 runner, slap your engine crane in the back throw in the engine stand with the motor and deliver the bitch free upto 100miles away

and raise your price by $100 bucks that will cover the cost of the stand and gas.

9 out of 10 people who want to buy a big item like that dont have the means necessary to transport the item. thats how i sold my ls1, and 3 engine's i had around i got 10 emails a day atleast 9 of them couldnt transport it.

Re: 355 shortblock for sale

If somebody wants this I will include a tub with everything except the intake.
Heads (need rebuild)
Serpentine setup with a/c, power steering, water pump (new but used), smog equiptment, new valve cover gaskets, valve covers.
How's that for a good deal?

Re: 355 shortblock for sale

You know you want to.

Do you still have your LS1 K member & swap stuff? If so we can work out a trade + cash.

Re: 355 shortblock for sale

I do, but Im keeping the Kmember. I been thinking about listing the 4.8, ls1 intake, wire harness, T56, and swap mounts. that should produce enough $$$ for a nice short block. I think I want a Super Ram'ed big inch small block

Re: 355 shortblock for sale

I have the stock L98 heads but they need a rebuild. Make an offer but I can't ship. For the right offer I will deliver to Sac.

Re: 355 shortblock for sale

the drive home was good, had a yummy steak at abblebees in cameron park

no im not going to flip it if i flip anything its gonna be the iroc and it will have a used motor in there i got a free running one so ill keep the one i bought of steve.

i just got a really good deal i couldnt pass up its broke me for like a month but ill live.

and on a side note you its really hard to sell a motor thats just been rebuilt and ran or never ran cause most of the time for the price people just prefer to get their own built to their specs. so filiping it even if i wanted to is not an option
