Default LS7 shortblock

Whats a good LS7 shortblock with 66k on it go for? Solid compression and 5% leakdown on all cylinders. THINKING of selling mine for a boosted build but not sure what it’s worth. Weighing my options of sleeving it vs RHS/LSX block.

Just a tip, for a boosted build right now, I would go with a sleeved 5.3 alum block from RED. The RHS block is straight garbage, lots of documented issues. The LSX is solid, but also has it's own issues. Just giving some recommendations. A Dart block is the best, by far, but current backlog is 6 months+

$2500-$3500. If it’s still in the car I’d do an oil analysis if you want top dollar. The titanium rod issue is well known and if you can show they’re good it will help with the sell

Wasn’t aware there was an issue with the titanium rods. What’s the problem exactly?

Trying for a response one more time, no response from PM either:

Where are you and the short block located?
Are you able to bring it to an agreed upon machine/engine swap for a review at my cost?
