I'm asking for YOUR help finding a wrecked LS1 fbody to use for a swap

My dad is looking to possibly buy a wrecked LS1 fbody. A title is not necessary, as it will be used for parts and the shell scrapped if we do not receive a title. It must be in running condition (drivable is not necessary), so the engine and transmission have to be in good shape. The lower the miles the better. We prefer an automatic, but would consider a 6spd also. I don't care what the body looks like (hence why we're looking for a wrecked one), as long as the drivetrain is there and in good working condition we're interested.

Let me know if you guys come across anything in your area. We don't mind driving to pick it up if it's within a reasonable distance. Best way to contact me is either PM me on the forum or email me at BlueZee28@att.net

Thanks,
Nick

I'll out it this way, there's a guy here asking $4,600 for just engine and trans and wiring with 31,000 miles. No way am I going to pay that much unless it's an entire wrecked car. I would consider just a drivetrain but I know what this stuff is worth and I know what I'm willing wo pay

You can buy fully non wrecked LS1 cars for not much more than that too on 'tech. Mind you they usually have tonnes of miles.
