dude.... for that kind of cash you can have a REAL motor.....
total waste of cash....anyone that spends that kind of money for a stock internal'd motor is STUPID and HIGHLY uneducated
not to sound STUPID or HIGHLY uneducated, but this entire post is to ask whether or not it was a good price, and whether or not it would be smart to buy something like this. Especially considering my new truck only has 1000 miles on it, and this is a zero mileage motor. But thanks for the advice everybody.Quote:

this to me would be what i was looking for if i did decide to go LS2

As for the price... I'd stick closer with eBay if you're going to gamble with online sales. With risk vs price, I'd do the homework & ask loads of questions about motors in question before I buy. Just my :twocents:. Good luck!
Let's keep any additional posts in this thread on the original topic and not on Wondertrucks wording.Quote:

Would you suggest I go that way? BTW, to answer someone earlier, i do have the 4.8. my truck is a nnbs and has about 2500 miles now. I just asked if that ls2 would be a good upgrade because it has zero miles, brand new, and i think here in california when replacing a motor it has to be either the same year or newer or OEM part. thanks everyone for the advice. I know it may sound dumb to some people why I would want to swap a motor into a truck that is only 2500 miles old, but i got a great deal on it, and only owe the bank 11,000. Plus I think a NNBS reg. cab with either motor would be badass.Quote:

that way if you are ever wanting to go with a supercharger, turbo, or nitrous your ready to go just get the right heads and cam... and i doubt there will be very many people to stay up with ya... and its better to ask questions then not that way you dont have to always wonder...so dont take offense of what people tell you on here.. We're all after the samething in here.
MORE POWER!!!!!! :rock:Quote:
