OMG...don't say that.
Calling it an "LT3" is an insult.

The LT3 was that awful 2-liter SOHC turbocharged thing that GM put in some Pontiacs back in the 80s.

We had one of those 80's GM diesels. Company wouldn't buy another diesel for 20 years. Now I'm stuck with 3 Ford 6 liter p.o.s.

I have a stock crank with one bad rod journal (not hurt too bad) that I would love to see go to a good home

could easily be fixed or do an offset grind


How does $200 sound?

shipping it would be expensive though. I live in alex Va

I think a stock cam, 12 to 1, 441 cid with a dry 175 dry shot would be fun, Idle probably better then stock.

I wonder what a stock cam 441 would cost...
