Default real opti?

Is this real? I think my opti is crapping out. I had a coolant hose clamp fail and water went evrywhere. I fixed the clamp and poured water down the engine where it all got wet. Probubly killed it because i have a midrange misfire that gets worse by the minut.

plan A:

#1 go to junk yard
#2 get opti
#3 put opti on engine
#4 drive


or if plan A fails, resort to plan B:

#1 find monkey
#2 ?????
#3 profit


its fail proof

Yeah! when i was posting a reply he said that. So when i said agreed i was agreeing to your statement about it being a good price. So when he said that he could do it for 50 bucks i hadent seen that reply.lol Thats just crazy to even think about, i would never do that. And where the hell do you have to live to find a lt1 in a junkyard!? I live in colorado springs and you would never see one in any of our million junkyards. They pull that **** out and sell it for more thatn they could if it was taken out by the buyer. My brother and I are jeepers too so i see ALOT of junkyards

Yep, I've pulled out 3 LT1's out of some local junkyards. A little over 200 bucks for the complete motor.
