junk yard lt1

went to a junk yard today and saw 3 lt1's amost complete. there's a sale today and for the next few days. i was wondering if it would be worthwhile getting these engines. they are going for $115+ core. they even had transmissions hooked up.

I'd buy them just to sell them. You can make a few bucks there.

Edit: Didn't see that they needed cores.
