Yeah anything with the LS designation is retarded money. But you can find anything not LS for cheaper

L92 v. LS3 there are some differences. Some swap. Some dont. Internet says:

1. Valves- hollow vs solid
2. LS3 has superior breathability due to valley cover
3. Internal balance and pistons
4. No AFM/ VVT to manage/ delete
5. Brand new lol

so while I could have saved maybe 2k in the end, I would have had a used motor, with not hollow valves, no valley cover breather, one that I had pulled the heads off and swapped lifters and valley cover and cam and front cover, and it would be used, and dirty

so I went with the crate motor, that comes out of the box ready for me to party. Mostly. But it's brand new, and that is important to me. Nothing to clean, nothing to worry about. Cam swap because that is the way and reluctor swap because I am a cheap ***

yes I already have an LS3 manifold and I already have Corvette front drive. So I am fine there. I just need a long block that doesn't suck the ***. Ppl are reportedly getting 480whp with that Summit cam, so I could actually end up with more power at the end of this thing too

Used this cam in a Stock LS3, 1-7/8" headers and a ProFab Intake tube/filter. It put down 478rwhp on 93 octane and 481rwhp on X85. Thru a TR6060 transmission.
Put a Ported TB and Ported/Rodded Intake on it and it didnt pickup any power at all.
Now its getting turned into a 416 this week.

This is a **** show
While technically, our price match policy states we match the to the door price there's always a gray area "make a sale" room. We may not be able to make Gold the price of Bronze but we can work with you to make both parties happy. We missed the boat here and should have made the sale happen. 100% our fault. Thanks for still having some faith in us and thinking about ordering the SUM-8711R1 cam for the long block you did buy at the $4,999 price and Free Shipping from West Bend Dyno.

In the future, if anyone in the community needs help placing an order or help with an order they've already placed don't hesitate to reach out to me here. I will be happy to help. I've already reached out to arthur via PM and hope we can better serve him in the future!

To clarify, I used WBD as my source for an listed at 4999, but I ordered the motor thru my local Chevy dealer- who doesn't charge for shipping and the price 4999. So in the end, I got what I needed 🤘🏻

I have to swap pans anyway because Corvette's are very specific about what they want in life lol

I am considering the box however because I wont have to expose the bearings to anything or change the preload on the mains

My vote is 24x just because simplicity sake but I do understand the concern on the bearings
