    Engine swap!

    Sort of. ;)

    Got an LS1 for sale out of a 2002 Camaro. Complete engine minus the ECU, only 40,000 miles. Was gonna put it in my Nova, but I just got into some trouble with the law and my e30 got impounded so I need cash ASAP.

    No pictures right now since I'm staying at a friend's house at the moment. I might be able to get home this weekend and get some pics, but that's the earliest I can get em.

                    Cop said DUI, though I wasn't buzzed, I wasn't driving, and I wasn't even in my car. Fighting the hell out of it since people are telling me the cop did a lot of stuff wrong (and since the cop admitted it was his second day on the job :roll: ).

                    Sure, I just have no idea how to get a quote. I had the engine shipped to me from Texas and dropped off at my door by a company called SAIA. But when I tried to give someone else a quote using their site, it said something like $7,700. :rofl: I just need to know what options to choose when I try to get a quote.

                        lol, I kind of need the money to get the car out of impound. Unfortunately a truck won't help with that. ;)

                        But here's some pics!









                        Haven't even taken it off the pallet it was shipped on.

                              How much is it to do the whole swap? Does anyone have a rough estimate? Say on the cheap..
