Default Helping hand Around Socal

Looking for some LS1 guidance (for a 6er).
Gonna do a rear end swap soon hopefully(big deal for me), seeing if someone could lend a hand in the gathering/swap.

Will gladly compensate with mucho

Salvage yards will try to take your leg for a rear end. Your best bet is to get one from a local parting or upgrading their rear end.
