Does it have to be a crate motor or can it be a low mileage used LS1?.

i was about to say the words cheap and crate ls1 engine dont go with one another.... john is on the money though, cheap and low milage engine may be in the zone u are talking about

a brand new LS1 crate motor from gm costs around 5 grand (5,495 last i checked). a better, cheaper option would be to check out the place john suggested or check out ebay, which has losts of engines and engine/trans packages.

That salvage yard I listed only cause its so close to the other poster but the thread starter I am sure has local salvage yards I can search for that engine for him but yes, salvage yard is financially, definitely going to be the best bet here.

all the local ones around here are worthless. i did find an LT1 corvette once but it was in a flood so the wiring harness was shot. but its still worth a shot to look in your own local yards.

I bought the Corvette LT1 Engine that is currently in my car for $550 complete with everything and only had like 40K on it. It was only like a 40 minute drive from a house too.

thats one hell of a good deal. but i don't think an LS1 is gonna be quite that cheap.

I've seen LS1 around here go for 800 and 850 with around 60K and they came with a 90 day warranty.

Japanese imports are always more parts wise because of the JDM. Here in america, finding a Chevy/Pontiac part is the greatest thing in the world.
