Thumbs up Cheap L98 crate engines on eBay

Heads up for anyone in the market for a 6.0L for their Cobra. WASP (Ballarat Holden) have 4 for sale @ $3700 ea. That's the lowest retail price I've seen since they were released.

They run an ad in Just Parts magazine every month and usually have some cheap stuff in there as well.

That's a great price.

Ask them the price for the whole cobra package. That's the engine and all the bits and pieces.

I've been told that the current batch of crate engines floating around are the last surplus engines that Holden will be releasing before DoD is reintroduced in Sept '09. So for anyone sitting on the fence it might be worth ordering soon. Also Preston Motors (Kevin Newell) has a few very rare V5B variant LS2 engines from HSV that were destined for the Club Sport. They're apparently higher powered with modified cranks and he's asking $3900.

Mate, you might want to check with Kevin that he's ok with his mobile number being posted on a public forum - just a suggestion.

Speak to Stewart at WASP (Ballarat Holden) about the T56 gearbox. They can supply new and reconditioned units.

Cheers
