Well everyone I got the first shipment. 24 engines (well the parts that were included and 24 blocks). The other 76 are coming soon with the option to buy 120 more later.

Depending on the final cost to build, I may be selling off the parts instead of building these. Either way it was a no-lose situation. Everything is still in GM crates and packaging. I looked up the cost of some of these parts and none of it's cheap. These aren't factory seconds either.

If anyone is thinking of doing some engine work to their 00-05 cars, for a while it may be cheaper to buy brand new, GM assembled heads from me than to have yours machined. New castings, guides, valves, seals, springs, locks, lifters (lash adjusters actually), followers, cams, it's all new and GM assembled. No corrosion or pitting, no surfaces to scrape clean...

Brand new Bosch fuel rails. MSRP is over $350. I'll be selling these for $125. New Bosch injectors. MSRP is $87 each, I'll sell for $22 each. New flexplates (flywheels) balancers, timing covers, all sorts of little odds and ends.

I'll decide first for sure what I'm going to do with these and talk to some people about crank and piston pricing. But depending on what makes more sense, I may be selling brand new blocks soon too. Some, not all.

If I do build these up, the target price I'm looking for is around $3500-$4000 once complete with a 3 year/unlimited mileage warranty. New Northstar engines for the price of rebuilt. Now I need to find bottom end parts at a reasonable enough cost to make this possible.

how are any of the parts for mix and match with previous years? Is there any way to modify at all to have the newer heads work on <99 engine/block/pcm ? That would be interesting. (my top end is getting noisy). If tahts all a no go i think it would be unfortunate, i feel like there is probably a larger market of pre-2000.

2000+ roller follower heads will not, ever, no time, nohow, work on 1999 and earlier. Different everything.

Do we know anything about the VIN 9 : VIN Y ratio?
