So I plan on buying a used LQ4 and doing some work to it prior to installing it in my 73 k5 blazer. Found a good deal on a 100% complete LQ4 that includes all accessories, harness, motor mounts, exhaust manis with o2 sensor, and ecu. Came from a running driving truck that the previous owner said went down the road fine with about 25psi of oil pressure but would drop to almost nothing at idle but never made any weird noises, rattled, or anything. Long story short he was going to use the drivetrain in a different vehicle but ended up changing plans and now I have the chance to buy it. Now ive read a lot about oil pressure issues on the forums and doesnt sound like a big issue but want to see if anybody has any input on it? Whats a good price for a motor setup like this?

I see these go for $1200-$1500 on eBay with ~100K-130K miles on them.

Due to the oil pressure concern, I would value the setup as if the motor needed a basic rebuild(rings, bearings, oil pump, etc.) so my guess is $700 tops.
