Default Where to buy an LS1?

I know there was some info posted before somewhere in LS1Tech, but couldn't find it. I would like to find an '01 or '02 LS1 motor, less trans, and would like some recommendations for a reputable salvage source. A Southwest location would be ideal, as I could go pick it up but would be willing to consider any good source. There is a guy in Arizona that has motors, but I couldn't find the contact info....anyone? Ebay is, well Ebay, and would rather avoid that route.

Thanks much,

Andy1

I got mine from Contempory Corvettes - trade as FParts on EBay - great service, really quick and exactly as described. Happy to recommend them.
