ls1 long block worth getting?? I have been trying to do research and decide which is the best route to go for my 88 Iroc-Z. LQ9 or LS1 want the power, dependability and gas mileage. but i came across an 01 ls1 and wondering if I should jump on it or not. Help me out. He wants $1500 Thanks for any input you have for me... Selling a 2001 LS1 motor 45k miles!!!

For 1500 you could get a used full lq with wiring harness and ecu with money to spare. Although for you could pick up a harness and ecu for the ls1 at a junkyard for a couple hundred bucks. The ls1 would be a good choice if you wanted to go carbed though !

Thats why im stuck on deciding. I dont want to jump on this if i can save money but dont wanna miss out on a good deal if this is. I want to keep the fuel injection for the gas mileage, b/c my Iroc is my daily driver.

Sounds like a decent set up for only $1500. I would want to tear it down a bit and get a look at how well the camshaft and crankshaft aged in that 45k miles. It could be completely shot, who knows.

The engine does not come with harness, ecu or trans... motor only. He has the motor pulled already to swap in something bigger. He said the motor is in good condition and ran great just wanted to go bigger. It was out of his trans am. the pic is of the motor sitting on his nova, cuz he used it for a mock up. Im going to try and check it out tomorrow. but he was very firm on price when I spoke with him on the phone.
