Piece meal is where you get goruged in engine swaps. Always better to buy a complete setup or a donor car.
This is true. In my case though a customer had the engine and practically gave it to me. Plus it has only 21k on it when it was pulled. I knwo where there is a donor car ls1/4l60 for 1500 probably less if I go with cash on hand. I just dont have room to store another car. Maybe If this deal had come before I bought all the ls3 accessories I mightve just done it though.
