LS conversion parts for sale

These will be going on eBay eventually, but I figured I'd give first crack at the GRM folks. Not shown here: an aluminum block 5.3 L33 with LS6 heads (light porting), a bored out throttle body and a V8 Spec cam. Fairly enthusiastic little fellow, it's worth about 400 hp at the wheels. Complete from pan to coils. Contact me if you're interested in that one.

Also coming soon, a radiator built for Miata V8 conversions. Dual pass crossflow with appropriately sized inlet and outlet. Excellent for small car LS conversions, will fit an MGB GT for example. Contact me if you're interested, I'll get details up.

item 1.
LS3 "Hot Cam" kit. GM part 12480033. As used in the LS376/480 crate engines, this bumps the rating from 430 hp to 480. These came out of a new crate engine with about 50 miles, and since it's a roller lifter cam it hasn't been "mated" to a set of lifters. Good as new.

Camshaft is the Hot Cam, GM part 88958753. Lift: .525'' Int. / .525'' Exh. w/1.7 Ratio Rocker Arms Duration: 219° Int / 228° Exh. @ .050'' Lift 112° Lobe Centerline

Includes a set of LS6/LS3 beehive valve springs. GM part 12499224. 1.250'' @ 295 lbs. pressure 1.800'' installed height @ 90 lbs. pressure Max lift .550''

This kit is normally $500 new. I'm selling it for $350 plus shipping.

SOLD!

Item 2.
C6 Corvette exhaust manifolds. Brand new, never used. GM parts 12576622 and 1257623. These things sit really tight to the block and have a fairly straight shot on the outlet, so they're great for conversions. I have a number of rock crawler friends running these. Will not fit a Miata. Originally on the factory 430 hp LS3 in the Corvette, these will fit any LS engine other than the LS7 and LS9. They used to be fairly easy to find because they came on crate engines, but that's no longer the case now that C6 production has stopped.
$250 shipped.

Item 3:
LS3 Corvette oil pan, windage tray and pickup. These used to be fairly easy to find because they came on crate engines, but that doesn't happen anymore. Nice and shallow for conversions, although they won't fit a Miata. Usually the windage tray is not included. Factory oil filter included! Oil pan is number 12624617.
Again, brand new off a crate engine. Typically $400 with the windage tray, asking $300 plus shipping.

Sold!

Item 4
PCM and wiring harness from a 2002 Firebird. The harness has been stripped down for use in a conversion. I can load in any program you want as well as turn on/off any alarms. It's currently set up to run a 5.3 L33 with the MAF removed and no rear O2 sensors. MAF is included.
$150 plus shipping with whatever program you want loaded in.

SOLD!

Item 5
Used clutch/flywheel package. The clutch is a stock LS1 replacement and is in great shape. Very smooth take-up, no bad habits. It has approximately 3000 miles on it with no drag starts. I removed it because I needed more holding power with my new engine. Some people have reported difficulties shifting these clutches at high rpm on track, I have not found that to be a problem with this unit. Flywheel is a lightweight SPEC unit.
The flywheels are $375 new. $250 for the flywheel and I'll throw in the clutch for free.

So what of this is still for sale?

The oil pan and the cam/springs are still available.

seriously? i was like "oh wiring is mine" and it sold. stupid out of town work with no internets.

Seriously. The feeding frenzy kinda took me by surprise.

Did the L33 sell?

I haven't really put it up for sale yet, I'm still trying to figure a price. I need to pull it off the shelves and get some pictures and a compression test too. But if you're interested in more info, drop me a line at keith@flyinmiata.com.

Ugh . . . Still on fence regarding the cam.

Here's what we've found on the cam. This is on a stock LS3, no other changes. I don't know exactly what it would do to other LS engines like LQ9s. It does give more of an aggressive idle.

This thing would rip in my 4.8L . . . It's a couple degrees off from a proposed custom cam.

I need to sell more wares to get this within my challenge budget.

Update!

The guy who said he'd take the manifolds decided to haggle retroactively. So they're still available.

Fifteenth edit. L33: More specs?

L33 bottom end, built by V8Roadsters LS6 heads with light porting LS6 intake Bored out throttle body V8R Spec cam (http://www.v8roadsters.com/product-p/v8rspeccam.htm) Aftermarket damper with Corvette belt positioning Your choice of F-body, Corvette or current Camaro oil pan Stock coils and all sensors that attach to the engine

No accessories or wiring. It's got maybe 3000 miles since the build. Synthetic oil since break-in, never run hot. Should make 400 at the wheels with a good intake. Nice and heathy. This isn't some junkyard engine, it's never run without me in the car.

It's got one odd thing. One of the ears on the bock is cracked. It's been reattached with epoxy and it's very solid, but you can't hang it on an engine stand without the oil pan installed. That part of the ear is attached with bolts in two different directions and it's also bolted to the bellhousing. It's not a structural problem at all.

I'm asking $2500 plus shipping.

The L33 and the headers are sold!

I've been asked if the cam and springs are still available, and they are.
