My future swap to the lq9 from the lr4 looks really expensive.. mainly I fear getting an engine from ebay. The whole fact I don't see it before I buy it. They are way way cheaper than reman'd engine.
What do I need to watch for in getting the lq9, well any engine from ebay?
Nice to know too, any benefits to buying used over a reman? Not really looking to have to rebuild either.. cost to freaking much.
Where are you located? Try this place: Snyder's 1-800-460-8025 ext 115, Mike will find you something with low miles.
Or just get another lr4 for 200-500 and then use some of the money you were gonna put towards a 6.0 and get it worked over at a shop. Or just buy a ls1 bare block and get all the internals and such seperate to build a power house. However I have no clue how much engine work costs. Input from the more knowledgable???
For now south ms, though going to spokane washington. So all money goes to getting there for now.. damn 700 bucks at least.
99turbo: how does your 4.8 do.. does it give you what you want. I'm wanting torque.. lots of it.. well most my backend can handle
Just my .02, I bought a 350 for my old S10 Blazer off Ebay. Pics looked good and claimed to have ~35K miles. I got it and it turned out to be a boat anchor. Even looked like they had dragged it off the bottom of a lake. I know different sellers are vastly different, but personally, lesson learned.
crap.. ***ty.. thats happened to me.. got a mountain bike off there.. pic was of it new.. i got it, it was ****ed up!
lets just say :bsflag:
Any other experiences from ebay engines? Any other good sources for engines?
DBTBSS: kudos for snyder's, probably give a call once I get situated up north. Where's that located?
It's not too bad, but I will tell you that I am currently thinking of taking a $10k loan from the bank and getting a 6.0 block and letting a shop have there way with it for $5-6k. getting a built 4l80 or t-56. I really would like to have 550 to the rear N/A then i'd start worrying about traction.Quote:
