kce Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I've been trolling around for a LS1 or a LS6 preferably accompanied with a T56 transmission. There are deals to be found via Craiglist or the LS1tech forums but unfortunately I live in Alaska. This makes examining the engines in person pretty difficult and I don't really want to risk spending $5k on something site unseen. I also don't want to spend $800 on a plane ticket just to come back empty handed. I can arrange for a barging company to ship palletized stuff up here for what is "affordable" by local standards but I would need to go through a salvage yard that has more flexible shipping arrangements other than FedEx or UPS. (This pretty much kills eBay as an option for me). Can anyone recommend a reputable salvage yard in the Seattle area that has experience shipping stuff via barge lines? Because I can't look things over myself I would feel a bit better about spending all that money if there is at least some guarantee I'm actually getting what I paid for. (A warranty of some kind would be lovely.) I'm also not at all adverse to the idea of taking the ferry down to Bellingham and trolling around there. Does anyone in the Bellingham/Blaine area care to recommend a quality salvage yard? Suggestions welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 There is a guy called "zman" who has a Z car shop in the Seattle area. He has been on Zcar.com a lot in the past. I', sure he could point you in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
