Re: Gm crate engine
So ill tell you my swap story:
Lowest entry ls GM performance had a year ago was the LS3. GM quote for the turn key package was $15,465+ shipping.
If I wanted a modern manual (tremec 6 spd TUET16885) it would have been cost of the engine ($7848) plus $7797 for the transmission, trans control pc/harness, hydraulic pedal conversion parts, crossmember PLUS engine pc, mounts etc etc etc.
It was a solid $20k plus to do that aka - out of their minds.
I pulled an 03/04 LQ4 / 4l80 / 14 bolt for a couple hundred bucks. Paid a lot of money to have them all rebuilt but Ill be in it about half (with expensive stuff I didnt have to buy like a fancy accessory drive).
