240Z2NV Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Gene Culley is the Parts Manager for Fred Beans GM. He is a sponsor on LS1.com and/or LS1Tech.com He frequently offers 'specials' for a month-at-a-time seliing parts AT COST, and you merely pay normal shipping. I believe that he did the special three times last year. My recommendation for sourcing those new GM parts is to lurk on those sites for a while, register, then when Gene makes the posting under the sponsor board POUNCE! It saved mas280 big bucks, and though I am on a much smaller budget, saved me ALOT as well. Gene is also 'good people' and generally very professional in responding to inquiries. I have referred alot of people to him, and never gotten any negative 'bounceback'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peej410 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 i just wanted to mention that its been verified by magazines like car craft, that the crate ls1 motors make more then they are rated for by quite a bit. i wouldnt be too suprised if a crate ls6 makes more than an ls6 that comes out of a vette.
