Good luck with the search. I can't wait to the day when I come back to the states after this Korea tour and hopefully Europe tour after to start my first LS based project.

But stuck more often.
I'm kind of surprised to see the prices as high as they are. It's been a while since I purchased one, but it seems like they were cheaper then. Seems like a good one was around $2500. Now I'm seeing them anywhere from $3-5k, with lots of miles. I think we settled on one off of ebay. Complete with a transmission and a warranty that starts after the swap is done, not the day I buy it. It's not the cheapest, but we feel it's a good compromise between price and miles. Price is under $5k.
Still if one pops up here in the next day or so, I'd like to at least talk about it.

I bought one off of the big LS1 recyclers on ebay. I sold it a little over a year ago since the project it was going in got mothballed and I have no plans to resurrect it anytime soon. I ended up selling it to a guy in Kanab. A friend of mine who told me about the ebay company has bought several from them and they all have been as advertised and good motors.

sellers username on ebay is fparts. They have a 100% positive feedback on almost 33,000 items sold. Thats a pretty good record.
I think you need this one.

I'll look into what he has.
LS7 huh? In a 2500 lbs car? Put it this way: half the power of an ls7 is still more than twice the power of the stock engine! An LS1 will be dangerous enough as it is. And where the heck would I put the sump?
Do the engines come with ECU, or brackets and acc. also or just the engine?

Most that I have seen are complete covers, o2 sensors wiring everything and for 500 extra they make them a 2 wire run

But although I have not done it there are instructions to trim down a harness all over the ls performance forums and 150 tunes will set up your ecm for life for 150$

The one I bought from fparts was the motor, tranny, a/c compressor, alternator, power steering pump, complete harness & computer. It even had the radiator hoses still connected to it. It had around 35K miles on it and I believe I paid around $4,250 for it and it cost around $750 to have it shipped.

Found one on eBay. 2002 z28 with 47k miles. Comes with the 4l60e and every other bolt on, harness, ecu, ect. Paid $4325. That included purchasing corvette engine covers for $125. They were pretty high with their shipping price at $500. I got the local fastenal to pick it up for me and ship it here for $180, coming from SC. Not a bad price at all.
Now let the fun begin!
Up next is a $6k front ifs set up...

Was it fparts or another seller? That is about the same exact mileage, accessories & price I paid for the one I recently sold. Congratulations and we all expect to see a build thread started.
