LS-1 and Northstar Prices

["James J." <m1garand@speakeasy.net>]

All,
   I've seen pulled LS-1 engines go from $1200 to $4000 depending on 
mileage, etc.
   Northstars go for $600 to $5000 depending on size, year and condition.
The northstar will take the Chevy S-10 bellhousing.  Yes, it's a Caddy 
V-8 that takes the Chevy V-6 bolt pattern.  I read that one of the holes 
has to be plugged and moved, and the starter is in a different place, 
but it appears to be no more than an afternoon's work for a hobbyist.  
Awhile back, I made contact with a fellow who is arguably the best 
machinist/tuner for the Northstar, and asked him about work on a 
Northstar/MG/Triumph project.  He seemed interested and friendly.  I can 
put you in contact with him if  anyone is interested.
I encourage someone out there to push the envelope!!!
James J.
