you don't even want to hear about the deals i got on both my 02 LS1's. both were complete, motor, trans, harnesses, & ECU's. one had 45k & the other 35K. just have to be in the right place at the right time.
first one i bought, the guy was swapping it into a mustang. by time i pulled everything & sold the mustang i'm into the motor/trans $300. the second was from 2 guys wanting to swap it into a 240. my friend & i went to look at the 240 for him & the guy who's grandmothers house it was all at said they had a chevy small block that his grandmother wanted out the garage. needless to say it was a complete LS1 & i picked that one up for $600, sold the 4l60e for $600 so i basically got the second motor for free.
