No bursted bubble. I’ve seen them turn up from time to time locally, whenever I don’t have money of course. Now, I know for that money I’m not touching a complete lc2. Not happening. I’ve seen 109 long blocks going in that area from time to time though. Then I also see them asking $4000 for them sometimes (LONG/SHORT BLOCKS!!). Hot airs I see all over the place. Including complete cars for as low as $3500 sometimes. But I think there’s even a complete engine in the classifieds here for $1200. The deals are out there but I might have to keep my eyes peeled for them and it might take some time.
If I’m getting an intercooled engine I’m not expecting a complete engine at that price. That I know is a reality. I do have several thousand dollars worth of firearms that I’m looking at thinning the herd with so if I do that I think I can come up with around $3000 pretty easily.
As far as the lsx swap, it’s out of the question. I know they’re cheap power and all but my personal preference is not with them. It’s never going to happen. This nova will either be a big block (which I’ve always wanted to do and never have), or a turbo 3.8. I’m leaning towards the turbo as I’ve had so much fun with them in the past.
I just missed out on my buddy selling his 87 with 100k on it and a broken timing gear for $4000. That was a complete car. I’m still kicking myself for that one...
