Gauging interest: LS1 engine from my 2000 Corvette Coupe (mn6)

Looks like I will be putting in a built engine in my vette here in a couple of weeks or so. Will have a better idea by the end of the week. When all is done I will be looking to sell my original engine, it's been a great performer and still runs strong all day long.

Here's the basics:
2000 LS1
72k miles total
32k miles on rockers and LS6 heads/valves
24k miles on cam, 921s, LS6 ported oil pump, Double roller, UD pulley, comp 850 series lifters.
6k miles on 30# injectors

Several chassis dyno sheets on this engine, 400 rwhp/tq through 3.42s, 390ish through 4.10s. Put my full weight coupe solidly into the 11s.

quick run down on upgrades/setup:

Bottom end is stock
Comp Cams hydraulic lifters
Comp Cams hardened pushrods
Comp Cam XER-273 Cam 220/224 530/534 112+4 LSA (dialed-in)
Stock 02 LS6 heads/valves with Comp 921 spring kit (includiing titanium retainers)
Comp Cams Pro Magnum stainless steel rockers 1.85 ratio. (brings total lift to 577/581) (some clearance work on underside of valve covers)
LS6 ported oil pump
Rollmaster double roller timing set
ASP underdrive pulley (not pinned, 24k miles, no walking)
LS6 intake manifold
SVO 30# matched injectors
Cometic .054 head gaskets, ARP head bolts.
NGK TR55 iridiums 6kmiles

So it should be the longblock plus intake and injectors (wont take the fuel rail off if I can help it), cam, timing set and pulley at a minimum. Will hopefully also include the shaner S2 throttlebody, no guarantees there yet.

She's got a few miles but not overly so. I never went radical with the mods, so I think life expectency is good to at least 150k, and probably 200k. Engine leaks NOTHING, burns NOTHING. Oil changed every 3000-3500 miles with Mobil 1 5w-30. I have never even been close to having to add oil in between oil changes. Never over heated. Rev limiter has been at 6700 since heads/cam, and I've bounced it a time or two at the strip, but thats why I put money in the valve train!

Check out other details on the website:

So it should be in the car for at least the next week or two. So if you are serious and have the opportunity, let me know if you want to listen or take it for a spin. Going to be looking at $3k, that may change depending on what is needed from it at engine swap time. This would be a great candidate for a thirdgen conversion. Sadly also, once the vette is running solidly on the new engine, I will probably also be selling my 89 GTA. That's another story for now, but if you are looking for a package let me know.

Thanks for looking!
Lee
