Well, it turns out I will be doing my own 3l swap next month. I just snatched up svtracer214's car with a blown 3l in it. Fortunately for me the heads are still good so I don't need to do the porting, just swap the heads onto a shortblock and away I go. At least thats the plan. Stay in touch GT2SVT.
I just put a deposit on one today in fortuna. 400 bucks, 33000 on the Odo (allegedly). Comes with a 90 day warranty so I figure that it should be OK. I will try and check it out before I pull the heads off. They say they pressure test each of the cylinders. I'm hoping that with low mileage it should be fine. Guy said its been sitting a while but wrapped in plastic in his storage racks.yea I've noticed a few online up in the inland empire. I'll keep searching. i would like to get one that is still in the car that way i can see the mileage on the odometer. even better if i can find a running motor. I'm a bit cautious about the ones sitting on a crate outside getting ruined.
Yeah, my only reason for wanting a warranty is that they wouldn't want to sell me one that they knew was busted. Gotta go pick it up this week.Your warranty will be void as soon as you change anything...... but other than that :thumbsup:.

Ordered up the head bolts and gaskets so I'm committed now.
What? Its only a 3 hour drive at most. If you want a 2.5 try pming Allstyle12. He has a full svt engine with 300 or so original miles on it.man i just realized that you've got an 8+ hour drive to get that motor! I found an svt motor in indio, i need to call these clowns and see how many miles or on it. No B.S.'n around with grinding the 3L down, I might just get this motor.
