Thanks for the reply, I'm looking for more of an undesirable engine such as a scrap 6 or 4 banger that's not rebuildable to use as a core for the LS I am picking up in my quest for more power.

The guy said any core he knows that it is a retrofit. I really would hate to have to give him my bbc as a core.
