Picked the coldest night of the year so far to drive the F250 out to Elgin and scooped up my motor set.
Got a 98 LS1 out of a Camaro with 70K miles on it. Also got the A4 trans, wire harness, ECU, MAF and Hypertech programmer. Its missing a PS pump but other than that, it looks complete. I got the alternator and AC compressor in a box along with a box of bolts.
Going into a '90 240sx fastback.

I guess it all depends on what HP Output and usage you are planning for the 98 LS1.. but no reason why it can be a good runner and have some mod to it and still hold together.. There are some problem with them.. but as you see, them 98 are still out there and running, so.. depending on what your plans are.. have fun !

If you are gonna pull the pan and check some rod bearings you at minimum need to put some upgraded rod ARP bolts. Hell just throw some bearings and if you get crazy put some pistons, just so you don't have to worry later. It'll add minimal cost (less than a grand) and will give you insane amounts of peace of mind especially if you are gonna spray it.

I have yet to pull the pan but I would assume that the oil pickup needs to be changed to fit the GTO pan..... unless for some reason it swaps to the other end of the motor???? But yes, I would be willing to sell the pan, pickup, windage tray, dipstick, etc (not sure what all needs to be swapped) for whatever it costs to pick up the GTO pan and accessories I need.
