LT5 crate engine for sale

[rush91]

I mean, come on.....look at that beautiful spotless engine. If I had the $ too spend on that, I'd buy it and uncrate it and set it up in my living room. It's a piece of automotive art.

The average price for an NOS LT5 is about $14,000. Sure hope these sellers like those motors,gonna have them for awhile.

Appears to be as advertised, but is pretty rough, I wonder where it came from? He's had the left side cam cover off and didn't re-tighten the bolts, the left side water cooling pipe has been damaged, and hard to tell in the picture, but something has happened to the top of the plenum. Wonder what happened? Bad storage or did the pilot car wreck?

Lots of other goodies in the list, priced at high market prices.
I'd guess he's cruised this forum before, or he might be one of us.

And in the market today, I'd say 10-12 is much more realistic. There quite a few of these floating around. In fact probably most (80%+) of the crate engines built are still out there in crates. If you wanted an LT5 for a project car, it was far easier to buy a wrecked ZR1.
