I paid 1400 for an 02 LQ9 with 150,000 but It was also 20min from my house, so I got to check it out before I purchased it. I t was also a complete motor with intake, DBW tb and harness.

if you wanta just put the motor in stock i wouldnt touch anything but imo put a nice cam and heads package together then put it in youll be much happier rather then if you did it in the car no bueno

well if your planing on running a FI setup id think you would be better off with a lq4 since the compression is a tad lower just a thought. as far other upgrades id do a timing chain just for peace of mind

might as well throw in a high volume oil pump while your at it...i would spend some time checking out different cams. don't forget some new hardened pushrods.
