help finding an lsx

[justeffingdoit]

where do/did you guys find your lsx engine and trans when you did your swap. i know there are crate engines out there but im looking for something more complete (accessories, wiring, intake/exhaust manifolds, etc.) and also something affordable. i live in the san francisco bay area and have had no luck in my search for a used lsx and a t56. can you guys help.

Try the for sale sections on here, pro-touring.com or www.ls1tech.com

Even post a wanted ad on ls1tech and see what response you get :yes:

I found mine on eBay.

In your area there is a place called Rancho Recycling. They sell engine/trans combos for swapers.

LS1tech sucks....


I placed an ad on my local Craig's list for my motor. Got a complete 6L out of a Caddy Escalade for $1500... I've recently seen them for as cheap as $750....


Got the trans, which needs a rebuild, from the guys over at Yank. $300 shipped. For mockup, its fine.

Just wanted to add that if you are patient you can find a complete car then take what you need and part the rest out. We made money going this route.

There was a 98 z28 for $4500 and a salvage title 99 Z28 for $2700 last month.


Im in the Bay Area too so I will keep my eye out.

I know of a complete LS1/A4 set up for $2000. Has 130k miles on it though.
