There would be a lot more LS1 vehicles out there - and to put an LS1 into a LS1 is obviously a straight swap - not so with a L76. For us its a no brainer - go the L76. But for Trevor from Mt Druit who just threw a conrod out the side of his block dowing burnouts in his VT in the McDonalds carpark - he would most likely replace it with an LS1. Supply and demand.

That's not an unusual sight. I reckon that engine had probably done one to many on-the-rev-limiter burnouts. And to think this is the sort of driving history that some of our second hand donor engines have had.  |

What's included with the engine for the above prices? i.e. How complete is it, what else is required to make it run.

Craig, for the L76 the $6600.00 includes the complete engine, intake with injectors and fuel rails, throttlebody,water pump and thermo housing, flexplate, exhaust manifolds, plugs,coils and plug leads, crank sensor and knock sensors and a left hand (only) engine mount ear.
To make it go, you'll need, starter, alternator and brackets, Accelerator pedal (FBW), Mass air meter, IAT sensor, O2 sensors, belt tensioner, belt idler pulley, flywheel, ECM and 2 harnesses and a right hand engine mount ear.
All up about $10.5K if bought from the right place.
The Corvette LS2 engine only is about $10K and the required bits are same as the L76.
Pics of engine can be seen in Schipps gallery.

Thanks Les, I was hoping you might confirm that for me. And for everyone else thinking about buying new. |

Obviously you also need a suitable electronic fuel pump, filter and regulator.
You can use a large external pump and regulator, Surge tank if you wish, or simply use the Holden/HSV fuel tank bucket assembly.
That bucket includes an electric pump, regulator etc and requires only one fuel pipe to the engine. ie. No fuel return pipe is needed.
