The one I had waited a while on was the Ls6. It's hanging out on an engine stand now. It's in really good shape, but I've never bought a used motor as clean as this one

Dude I'd be throwing him under the bus anywhere I could find a place to. That is the lowest of the low.

He claimed it was a good running 2006. Turned out to be a pre-04 with a piston seized so hard it took a hammer to get it out.

One of my friends bought a car from him last year, seemed like a good guy so I was a little too trusting. Got burned. Drove 9 hours round trip yesterday for this new shortblock, trying to keep my project on the rails at this point haha

Actually found a v-band flange for my S475. Seemed to be on bsckorder til 2025 or something but its awesome compared to taking a grinder to a brand new turbo.

Ordered everything to finish the motor last night. Hi-ram, custom Tick turbo cam (hopefully doesn't sound like a houseboat), head studs and all the little stuff that nickels and dimes you to death with these things.
Hopefully get a chance to assemble next weekend

If he was closer, I would suggest dumping it in his front yard. After busting a hole in the side of the block to ensure he can't sell it again.
