Re: Value of a factory 454 LS-6 crate engine?
It will be the same as with just about any other automotive equipment, what ever somebody is willing to pay for it. Intake ? water pump ? Dist. ? Flywheel ? other parts ? Mark H.

Robban54 you are probably correct in your thinking, and a water flow restrictor in place of the T-Stat might well become more effective or needed with a large increase in volume . Mark H.
