    Wanted - Free LS1 Motor parts

    I picked up an 84 Chevy 1/2 ton for a fun street/track project. I have an '01 LQ4 from my tow rig (coming out soon - new motor on the way) that will be going in. Plans are for a T-56 for it among some other cool stuff.
    For now I'm looking for any motor parts you guys are willing to part with for free. I'm looking for anything, blocks, heads (good or bad) motor mounts, flex plates, exhaust manifolds and on and on. Some stuff I need for mock-up and some stuff I need to see what fits better than what I have on hand. Some stuff I could just use for a bit and give back.

    If you want to help out w/ parts (or labor) let me know.

    Plans are a C5 front suspension, torque arm rear (possibly truck arm too). Pure racecar interior w/ raw crusty, sun baked paint on the outside. Splitter and wing. Single rear mount turbo in the bed. May even leave the caper top on it.

    Yep. Splitter will allow for it. Truck will be rear grip challenged for sure not only at apex be corner exit as well. Gonna need grip.

    Misty has her old heads from the original Camaro motor. Has a bent valve. Otherwise seem OK. If Eric doesn't take them in trade for some work, I'll ask if you can have them.
    Ah, fugg it.
