[QUOTE="TexasRancher, post: 1830823, member: 8359"] I agree with what JlTrent says...buy professionally done crate engines-transmissions and the cost won't be felt or seen after a year...all will be peace of mind. That said, 3 years ago...I had the BEST LUCK buying a used complete 5.7 liter GM engine on E-Bay for $550. shipped. It was a northern rust belt engine from near D.C., Oil stays clean, perfect compression...a bargain that I believe it had been recently rebuilt. Additionally I purchased a 119k miles GM FWD transmission (again from those northern rust belt states) on E-bay for $425 shipped....and it's "perfect" can't even feel it shift. I've found if you find a good reputable engine-transmission wholesaler that tests components-logs them before they shelf them....it's way better than going to a wrecking yard, smelling a tranny dip-stick or turning an engine slowly.
