Finally got my used engine. It doesn't look as pretty as I was expecting/hoping but it'll do. At first I doubted if it really only had 5,000 miles on it because of how dirty the intake valves and piston tops were. But after talking to Tracy from RX and VTSummit from here on the forum I've confirmed it. VTSummit actually ran some numbers off tags on the engine block and said it came back as a 2015 2LS that was salvaged and had its last service at 49XX miles. I pulled the oil filter and it looked brand new and the oil was very fresh and clean.

It's just amazing how dirty the intake valves are after only 5000 miles. Tracy showed me some pics from a 2K miles motor that were just as bad and sent me a link to a YouTube video of a brand new LT1 from a Stingray with only 5000 miles that looked just as bad. It happens quick on these DI engines!!

I'll post up some pics of the intake valves after while.
