Okay. This morning the mains were chattering BIG TIME. I'm also having transmission trouble. So now I'm faced with an immediate powertrain/drivetrain failure. So, I know where I can get an LS1 Complete(ECM, wiring harness, all the sensors) and a complete T56. Am I better off getting my tranny and engine repaired or going with the complete LS1 swap?

 

Is the LS1 new? If used, how many miles on it? I'm an LS1 fan.

 

70k

 

If the LS1 is problem free, I'd say do it. Did it come out of a wrecked car? If so, how bad? If totaled you may want to stay away b/c the internals probably have been knocked around a bit & out of whack.

 

It did come out of a wrecked car. But the car drove before the engine and trans were removed.

 

Do you know ithe extent of the damage? Was it wrecked on the front or rear end, side?

 

I'm not sure of the extent of the damage.

 

Well, if it was drivable after the wreck, it couldn't have been that bad. But if it was a head on collision, you might want to steer clear. Just my opinion.
