Just spent a few hours reading about this L76 on the ls1.com.au forums and it sounds like a great option over the awesome but more expensive LS2. Basically you've got euro 3 compliance, nearly 270kw, over 500nm and with a bigger cam you can make LS2 power easily. Out of the box it has mounds of low down torque - eg, very streetable.
Any idea on stock levels or whether these deals are limited time only?

I reckon you'll be able to get them for a while yet and the price will only get better with time.... A damn fine choice I reckon!!!

Sambo....I don't know how many are available, but although the deal may improve I wasn't willing to take the risk.
What I do know is that there are a number of folks on this very forum whose all up cost of a similiar but second hand engine is greater than I've paid and this deal is all new.
The engine in crate form is about $6500.00 GST paid. I wanted all the bits and pieces to turn the engine into a running engine. ie. Alternator, ecu, loom, starter , O2 sensors, FBW accelerator, etc etc. They will even remove the code on the ecu that you dont need or prevents the engine from being started. That ended up about $10,000. Great price when a crate LS2 costs about $9000.00 without all the bits.
For some-one willing to scrounge the bits and pieces then maybe they could save more.
Other folks on here would have a better idea as to the potential of the engine but as far as I'm concerned it's essentially an LS2 bottom end with possibly better heads and intake, marginally lower compression, and a smaller cam.
Given most of us swop cams, fit better headers, change tune etc, then I figure I can make this thing, at least as good as an LS2.
cheers

Sorry, I told a fib ... I heard there were 30 of them.
Don't know if that is the end or not.
