I am landscaping my yard, pouring a cement driveway and working like 60 hours a week right now on top of revamping a ton of things on my car. On top of that I now work in Sheboygan so my drive is an hour each way...

Went today and checked out this motor a guy in my area posted on craiglist
Says its a LS1 with about 500 miles on it and came out of a 2003 corvette, Im a noob to this **** in case its not obvious but i snapped these pics today and wanted to get input on whether yall believe its worth the 1800 he's asking for it
From what i can see its missing the intake and exhaust manifolds and the belts but other than that im not 100% on what im looking at or looking for
Thanks in advance

It is also missing the oil pressure sensor and knock sensors. Some of the holes looked gummed up.
Definitely out of a late model c5 vette from what the oil pan looks like. LS6 block based on casting number (1251168), 241 LS1 heads, late model ls6 pcv valley cover.
The engine over all looks very clean. I dont know how you are looking at a 500 mile 9 year old motor, but looks pretty clean. I would go 1500 for the long block complete if you can get him down that low.

It was 82*F this past weekend and the car took a beating and had zero issues.

Mine runs off of the stock GM ecu with a relay triggers the fans to kick on at whatever temp is set at in the ECU by HP tuners which is 190 deg right now

Just depends on how it is wired if you use the stock VQ ECU and its just being used as a CAN pass through then you need to use the stock nissan one on the LSX motor and have the stock chassis wiring for the fans plugged up.
If using the GM ecu and not a stand alone it will just use the stock GM ECU go to a relay that is controlled by the ECU then 12+ to the fans once the desired temp is reached.

Correct as long as you have the nissan sensor in one of the ports on the heads and the ECU sees that signal then you are good to go.

^logan, does your coolant gauge work with your harness? justin was telling me that once he removes the nissan ecu from the harness then i have to buy a coolant gauge because it wont read. this doesnt make sense, but then it does. fill me in por favor.
