I spoke with Travis (daytonayellaz) this morning and he regularly gets low mileage, i.e. <25k mi takeouts. Those can be had significantly less than a GMPP crate. Much more affordable to perform the swap than I thought. He is a huge help and seems really knowledgeable btw. Don't hesitate to give him a call if you are looking for a source.

I'm just trying to cost this all out. I need to get an idea of all the options and price differences.

Thanks!
we need to get Travis to become a supporting vendor so he can start advertising his engines. Heard nothing but good feedback on them.
