i am saving to buy an ls motor and tranny and i am curious to know how much they usually go for.. i found a shop that will get me the motor and tranny plus mounts and all wiring for 2000 uninstalled. is that a good offer or should i look around some more?

 

depends how much of it you want and in what shape.

2000 is alot does it come with a warr for that price?

 

yeah its from a ligit shop so its warranted but im still thinking thats too much.

 

2000 seems just a bit high, but still pretty good that it comes with a trans, mounts, and wiring and is in So cal. Couple of things you need to think about:
What trans?
For the wiring are you running that OBD, if not how much more to convert?
Whole harness or just clips off the block?
ECU included?
Mileage?
Previous wear and tear?
Compression test?
Warrenty period and what type of warrenty? gl

 

well adding warr in still a bit high but not a bad deal.

If it's a good deal for YOU is the real call, there is a ton of stuff to factor in like can you risk a bum motor, if you do have it get replaced are you going to be doing work yourself? Can you have down time? How fast/bad do you need your swap ready/done?

 

Seems a little high but with labor, warranty, ETC might it isn't terrible. As stated above if it works for you lay down the cash

 

thanks a lot guys for the commentary.. i think im just going to swap a b16 in my car instead of the ls cuz ill be spending about the same and me and my brother can install it in a couple days so it will be fine..
