LS V8s in Miatas - so far this is what I've bee quoted:
1998 LS1/(no trans) from Corvette (unknown milage): everything included (coil packs, all belt-driven accessories, harness and computer) for $3500 plus shipping.
2004 LS1/T56 from GTO (10k miles): everything included (coil packs, all belt-driven accessories, harness and computer), plus driveshaft for $6325 shipped.
I think I'm going to purchase the '04 GTO package.
Oscar - cool man - I'm sure that car has surprised a few folks running like that! Looks pretty mellow - but it moves!

I just got off the phone and got another quote:
2001 LS1/T56 from Corvette (47k miles): everything included (coil packs, all belt-driven accessories, harness and computer) for $7000 plus shipping.
So, so far I've been quoted:
1998 LS1/(no trans) from Corvette (unknown milage):
$3500 plus shipping.
2004 LS1/T56 from GTO (10k miles):
$6325 shipped.
2001 LS1/T56 from Corvette (47k miles):
$7000 plus shipping.
And yes - you're right - those prices are very high compared to the majority I see on eBay.

Petrol- you know the Vette LS1 has a transaxle and not a traditionally mounted transmission like the GTO/Camaro right?
$4-5.5K for a low mileage (under 30K) complete takeout 2001+ LS1/T56 setup is about the norm on eBay. There are other sources as well. Use the search button.
'99/'00 command slightly less due to not have an LS6 intake and slightly less flowing cylinder heads (5-10rwhp less)
I would avoid the '98's as the coil packs/valvecovers are different and the computer/wiring harness is also. Some parts are not interchangeable with the '99+ LS1's. In addition the early years of any new engine should be avoided since they always make revisions in the later years to improve upon design.
email me about an LS1/T56 I have you may be interested in: gnx7@hotmail.com
I went 12.39@124mph at LACR uncorrected with no traction in 1st thru 4th on R compound road race tires. It is my daily driver as mentioned and gets low 20mpg on the highway.

gnx7 - yes I am aware of the transaxle set-up. If I were going with a Vette set-up I would have an F-body or GTO or Viper or aftermarket T56 mated up.
I've been searching many sources, including this site's classifieds, as well as the sources provivded on the thread about LS1 providers.
I emailed you concerning the LS1/T56 you mentioned. I am looking to buy asap.
Thanks.
