I don’t know how much you know about these engines. But be prepared to shell out approx $1500 for a T56 and about $3000-$3500 for a complete engine set… If you are lucky they may throw in the wiring harness and computer. Some places do. Some places don’t.

^ What about guys in the southern US that say they grow on damn trees down there…? They’re saying junkyard T-56s are only a few hundred bucks… I’m just curious.

'cause for $400USD, even assuming a rebuild, you’re gonna be able to score one for under $1500CAD, assuming you pick it up in the US, instead of cross-boarder shipping.

Well I’ve seen a few motors on kijiji for around 2000. I was hoping to get the motor complete with the tranny for about 3500-4000 max.

So basically they exist, but you’d have to actually go to the states and find one in a junk yard/local classifieds.

Like I said, not being a dick, I just always heard they were cheap in the US, and figured depending on the situation, it would just make sense to go pick one up state-side, rather than pay $2G just 'cause we’re in Canada…

There are a few combinations for sale in the States on [v8rx7forum.com](http://v8rx7forum.com). One guy is selling his engine/tranny and a bunch of other stuff you’ll need if you’re doing a swap.

If that doesn’t work out, try Cleveland Pick-A-Part. They are recommended by a lot of people. I bought a pullout from them three years ago and brought it back in a pickup. It took a day there and back. They are also sponsors on [ls1tech.com](http://ls1tech.com).

Good luck with the build.

I got my LS1 locally for $1,100cdn complete with harness and ECU. It can be done, you just have to be patient. I’ll now sell th ECU and will have got my engine for \<1g.

Also, there are trannies all over the states. When I’m ready to get one I know I’ll be able to get one for less than $1500 to my door…just have to be ready.
