Depends on what all is on it.......wiring? ECM? Accessories?

What year (which intake, etc)?

I wouldn't buy anything for $1500 without careful examination.

What is he including with the engine? I have seen these engines go for cheaper sometimes, but that's only once in a while. You say an LS engine, but is it a LS1,2,LQ9, etc...?

that intake is worth alot........id say its probably worth it
i gave 3 grand for mine...86k miles but it had a t56 all wiring and accessories, radiator, and LT headers ....and i felt like i got a heck of a deal....swapped it into my car and cranked it up with no problems what so ever
