I have ran across a few of them. I was not ready to buy at the time but I have definitely seen them. Even ran across a LQ4 6.0L / 4L80E with all the wiring harness, pedal assembly and ECM for 1,600! I know multiple friends of mine that have more than one of these LSX engines and they dont have much money tied up in any of them for sure! So it can be done.

I wouldn't even look at any of the all aluminum motors like that are in my Pontiac G8 because they sell for around 5,000. I am looking at Iron Block, aluminum head motors with reasonable mileage on them.
