Default where to find an LS1?

a friend of mine has been seriously thinking about putting an LS1 in his 240SX. Besides Ebay are there any other good places to get a used motor and trany from?

junk yards.. internet searches, Here and other Forum "for sale" sections.

Check the Magazines for some company that have them (I recall there is one in Phoenix). We have GMSports here in San Jose, CA... there are many if you just seach with the right key words.

Oh, and I did say it, but maybe next door while your neighbor is on vacation...? LOL

You can also check the completed listings for Ls1's on e-bay and then contact high volume sellers to see if they have any others. I contacted 2 sellers that I thought looked good and they gave me heads up on drivetrains that they had not even made it to their shop yet.

I don't mind out my tricks as I bought one yesterday
