How much would a....
 
Teg motor go for on a junk yard? i hear knocking in my engine, i'm using this as an excuse to get a swap ;) :yes:

I'm not looking for a type r or anything, maybe a GSR, but most likely an LS motor or somthing...

any help would be useful, thanks.

98k....i dunno if its piston slap, i've never heard what that is...

i hear somthing knocking against the head...er under the valve cover...i mean, gr, its up top, ontop of the engine, not below where the crank shaft or crank arms are...its above that...yea...sry if i was confusing.

Have you had the valves adjusted yet?

junk yard swaps can be tricky... you are going to need to get engine, tranny, axles, wiring, ecu, etc... best way is to buy the fron clip if they have it.

Uh, here, a GSR engine's going to run you about $3,000. Don't know about California babyface. Sorry.:kiss:

Too bad he's not a chic though. I bet he could get it for much much cheaper then. :pfft: :pfft:

98k is nuttin... its just nicely broken in.... plenty of life in that engine.. unless uve messed it up somehow, or havent taken care of it

i would stay away from junkyards if i was you

it sounds to me like your valves are overdue for an adjustament

TeriyakiBroccoli 04-06-2003 03:24 AM

they're about 2700 from a guy i know in SD.

edit: GSR swap that is. only thing u will need is the wiring harness

maikoshi 04-06-2003 12:44 PM

I have like 115k miles on my car. *Vroom put put...*

Make sure you get the whole swap.
