mikeith Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 f parts on ebay is a good source... they'll range from 6000-8000 for a complete takeout. i'm looking for one myself. every now and then one will pop up for 5500 or so if you look hard enough.... i'm looking for one w/ damaged heads or intake that i can get cheap since i'm using l92 heads and a fast 92 intake/tb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Ebay shows them for around 5500, but you can likely find it way cheaper on LS1tech. Search the classifieds on LS1tech.com and you'll find better deals. I've found fantastic deals on motor/trans combos on there. 2 a week sometimes. BTW - LS2 for 5700: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2005-2006-Pontiac-Gto-LS2-Engine-Six-6spd-trans-Swap_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1171Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a1Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem290313514185QQitemZ290313514185QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories 6000: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-06-Pontiac-GTO-LS2-6-0L-Engine-Transmission-20K-OE_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1171Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a1Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem200330915409QQitemZ200330915409QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_2774wt_1197 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeeboost Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Usually from $5500-$6500 on eBay all day long. I found an add on craigslist that was over in TN that had a complete 20k miles ls2/t56 pullout - almost everything included except the wiring harness - for $3600! I posted the pictures of it on this website to make sure it was indeed an LS2, but since it was Easter weekend I went home to visit the family instead of drive up there to pick up the engine *sigh*. Needless to say, someone else (locally I'm sure) beat me to the punch. Sometimes I question my judgement, because I doubt I'll find a deal like that again.

Crash Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 OMG! I would have bought that in a heart beat! I would've sent a deposit just to make sure of it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannonball55 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=140207 Heres a link I posted on how to buy a LS3 cheap from a dealer. I think the price went up from 6200 to 6500 but still killer deal considering ls3 heads flow better than most aftermarket cnc ported ls6 stuff. Can also do the same thing on the ls3 wiring harnes/computer from GM. Think I got mine for 600ish bucks when it lists at almost a grand. Its the same engine that comes in the 2008 vette except it has a hotter cam. Just 20 HP shy of a LS7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeeboost Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 OMG! I would have bought that in a heart beat! I would've sent a deposit just to make sure of it!!! Yeah, but since the price was so cheap I questioned the legitimacy of it and didn't feel comfortable sending a stranger a few hundred dollars to hold on to it for me. Plus he didn't have Paypal, so that made it more difficult. Nevertheless, it sold almost immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
