Remember this, we all talk about getting a LSx motor and tranny for a "cheap" price. But in reality, we're usually taking a gamble. How do we really know if the engine needs new gaskets or if the tranny needs a rebuild, etc?
my daily driver is a 01 suburban with 260K MILES ON IT. it does not need anything replaced on it it dont leak any where. i dont why you would think that a lower mileage engine purchased from a reputable salvage yard or dealer would have any problems.
