Where to find a Corvette Engine??

What would be the best place to find a real corvette engine. I saw a 91 Camaro the other day with one in it. It was right out of a vette. Soo sweet! Where would be a good place to find one. Thanks alot. Murph

There are a couple on ebay right now. You can also find them through wrecking yards that specialize in corvettes. You may find some yards searching the net, in the back of corvette magazines, and I've seen some ads in Hemmings magaizines from time to time. These are the better LT1 to use because you do not have to modify your crossmember to still use AC. The radiator hoses also line up with our radiator. I like the valve covers better than the f-body/caprice ones also. Good luck

You may want to keep searching locally because shipping on so much weight can add up and get really expensive.
