There's a guy nearby that's selling the LS1 engine complete out of his '00 Camaro with all the sensors and the wiring harness. Supposedly it only has 9K miles and it's still in the car so you can hear it run. Is the price any good? I haven't shopped around for used ls1's but this popped up so I'm wondering.

 

I really have not much of an idea but you never gave the price in your post.

LOL! $3500 I can't believe I did that.

 

Doesnt sound too terribly bad if it has all of the sensors, wiring, computer. Make sure it is all there though, get a book if you have to. Does he have the trans and exhaust? That would be good to pick up at this time as well if he has it all.

 

I'd say $3500, with the transmission, is a pretty good price. If not, then it's only a fair price (even given the low mileage). I've seen them go for $3500 with transmission before from junkyards. Depends on your luck of the draw, it seems...

Make sure that the PCM is included in that price as well, as that's a couple hundred bucks by itself.

 

with that low miles and all wireing i see them sell for 5K all day on ebay

 

I think I'll take a seriosu look at it. I may end up buying the engine before the car lol. I guess that gives me time to build it up.

 

A search today on eBay showed LS1 w/out transmission sold for $2225 all the way up to $4510 for a complete LS1 'vette drivetrain. Paying $5000 for just a motor/harness/pcm is too much, IMNSHO.

 

There's a 38000 miler with a $4400 "buy-it-now" on eBay right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eb...tem=1815075550 ends on the 28th, if you're really interested. A little higher than I'd pay personally, but seems to come with just about everything.
