Default 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.

if your going to do a 69, id prolly just go for an lsx motor. Little more expensive but a lot more options...

i have an old motor sitting in the back that i could exchange its an oldsmobile 350 with 3a heads. not worth much. but i was thinking 6.0l with l92 heads and cam or 5.3 with turbo for the 69.
