what are the going prices of LS motors these days?
Well i might have found an exceptional deal on an 07 ls7 with trans, and an ls1 with ecu and harness, all accesories together. So i might buy them and sell of the LS1. what can i expect to get for it? Runs good, out of an 01 camaro, with about 100k on the clock. Also what is an expected worth of the 07 ls7 with trans ecu and harness? just want to make sure this is a good deal. i might have to convert one of my 7s to the dark side ls7...

Once u got to the darkside u never come back! Ive done several LS swaps and buy and sell LS motors often. The LS1 u should get $1200-1300 quick and the LS7 $5000+ easy more if it comes with a t56. Those are realistc prices not like some guys waiting $2000 for LS1s and they never sell. I just sold a 500hp built ls6 eagle rods, balanced crank, comp cam, 243 worked heads, roller rockers, all arp bolts, etc for $1800 and it took 2 weeks to sell it.

I picked up an LS1 with the harness and everything for $1900. 60,xxx mile motor that was from a 00' Z/28. They aren't as expensive as a lot of people think they are. Best bet, check ls1tech as stated before, as well as ls1lt1.com, ls1.com, you get the idea.
<100,000 mile plug & play motor shouldn't be more than $2000 unless it's VERY low mileage.. but that gets more rare on the daily
>100,000 mile plug & play motor (especially ones that aren't rebuilt) should definitely be less than $2000
*01-04 LS1's are going to be a bit more expensive generally... They had LS6 intakes, better flowing heads/manifolds (not by much), a better PCM (can't remember why???), and no EGR.

If LS1 T56 combos can be had for under $2000 a TII swap on my car seems almost pointless. I know the total cost of the LS swap will be more but by the time a person buys a JSPEC eng/trans combo and rebuilds it. Probably not by much. I've been kicking around an LS swap when my motor bites the dust but what people ask on ebay for these motors just make it too exspensive.

I got a ls2 with t56 pullout from a 06 gto with 11k on the clock for 7k few years back. I got a ls3 longblock with cam and ported heads for 5k last year. You just need to search around. EASIEST thing to do is call a performance shop or tuner and ask if they have any laying around. Thats how I've gotten my good deals.
