For a while i have been thinking of doing an ls1 and t56 swap in my iroc, and I was just wondering where is a good place or website to find a decent setup for a good price. Any advise would be awsome.Thanks.

Best place to look is local or on the fbody boards for a local seller. Rip offs happen on ebaby and I could only afford to buy one lt1 so I looked and waited until I found what I wanted. You can also see what you are getting and negoiate with the seller if something you will need is not included.

Give Ryan or Scott a call at Tennessee Auto at 1-800-884-7501, they part out 4th gens and usually have an LS1 or two in the shop.

Ive bought stuff from the fparts ebay store. I didn't buy them through ebay, i happen to live like 5 minutes away from them, so i bought everything in person. I recommend them and even if you do go through ebay, you won't have to worry about being ripped off with them.
