That thang has more than just the "engine only" missin!
The PCM and wiring harness is gone too! By the time you bought all the stuff that's gone, you could buy a complete car...why bother?

A ZO6 (LS7) crate motor will run you about $15,000.  I think it would be a shame to see someone drop a "plain 'ol" LS1/LS6 engine into that car  Ouch
 
I actually thought it was a good price for a roller, considering with an engine that's a $70,000 automobile.
