Anybody projecting selling a forged lt1 built for boost?
LMK what you got and a price. I might be looking to buy. PM instead of posting would be best for me.

Particularly a 383 forged longblock or shortblock LT1. 355 or 396 would do too, just looking for something that can take the boost. I have a t-trim, looking for 12 pounds of boost. It can be used, but I don't want somebody's trash either (rather deal with somebody on the board who is reputable). I know people are always looking to upgrade or do a swap, I've missed out on several good deals because I just wasn't ready with the money. On that note, I am not willing to pay too big either. Thanks for the lead on the other motor, he would probably ask for more than I can afford to pay at the moment because it is brand new and well-pieced together.

You're probably going to pay considerably more for an assembled shortblock. I'm getting ready to drop mine off for new pistons and rebuild. Built for boost with good parts you are going to pay $5-6000. Have you thought about gathering parts to have one built?

Yes,
but looking for quick returns, so would like to do swap immediately. One toddler and a 2 month old have made life decisions a little more tricky. I have two months to get this car crackin again or move on from it.
