Default whos the guy on here that sells low mile LS engines??

i talked to him in the fall about buying a motor from him....he gets really low mileage LS engines (like 5k miles or so only on them), and sells them on here

he has a very good reputation on ls1tech, and was very knowledgable about these swaps

i got a 69 camaro, and finally have (almost) enough money saved for this, and was going to call him, but i must have not saved it in my pm's

thanks guys

my camaro:

I have bought from 2 different guys that fit that description. High Performance Salvage in San Antonio, and Southern Performance systems. These swaps are so popular now that a bunch of different salvage yards market these drivetrains pretty well. Last drivetrain I bought was from a salvage yard in Cleveland.It was a G8 pullout that had only 1800 miles on it.

werd, I visit car-part a few times a week and I can't get an LQ4 complete for that... One thing I have done man is not be afraid to call the guys up and haggle too. Got my jeep tranny shipped with no core and 50 off the list
