I have a 99 Z28 with an LS1, and my motor decided to throw a rod last week. Is there anyone on this board in the San Fernando Valley (I'm located in Granada Hills/Porter Ranch area) that can swap a working LS1 motor for a reasonable price for me? I was quoted $3500 for a motor and labor, but i just can't afford that after spending a lot to get the transmission replaced. I'm without a car right now, so the sooner we can make this happen the better. Hopefully the LS1 community can come through and help a fellow enthusiast out.

 

Any info of someone I can send a Private Message would be great too. Just really in a bind and need to get this fixed asap.

 

Did u buy the motor yet?

 

No, haven't purchased a motor yet, but have found a couple options. If you any suggestions about good places to find a motor, or if someone is selling one locally, I'd definitely look into it.

 

I have a few FB freinds in the area..I'll post this thread and see what comes of it...

 

Call me i have a shop ...3235012264

 

I'll try to give you a call today.

Thanks for all the help everyone. I've gotten like 6 PMs with people who can help or know someone who can. This community is awesome!

 

Total cost is $2500 installed for a used takeout LS1 longblock. (Parts/labor/fluids etc)
