New here and you guys from reading over the past 2 weeks here seem to know your LS1's. I was going to put my 3800 series II V6 turbo motor from my 2000 Grand Prix and convert it to RWD and put it in an 87 Dodge Conquest. After going for a ride with a friend in his 2000 Trans Am (stock) they seem to have very decent power stock, and upgrade parts are A LOT cheaper to buy than those for my 3800 engine. So have been looking for an engine and found this one. Here is the specs and tell me what you think.. is it a deal, good..bad or whatever.. Thanks in advance for your input!!

This is in the wrong forum. but you didn't say how much. If it is free then hell yeah it is a good deal. I would expect 360-380 at the wheels on just motor out of this setup though.

Is this engine newly rebuilt? If it is it almost two good of a deal. Be careful.

davo

Yes newly rebuilt, only run in on a dyno. Seen the pics and is VERY nice too..
The business built the motor for a customer, and this is what is owed, the guy I guess never picked it up..so he is trying to recover what he can...

I would say go for it, but only if you feel comfortable with the people that you are buying it from. I have bought some "newly rebuilt" stuff only to find out later that it wasn't the case if you know what I mean. good luck

Thanks Bane!!

Anyone else have a comment?
