In the mean time It will definitely be a good thing to know the cost in CDN$
Where did you score the engine from, and what was its original home?

I got it through a wrecker in my hometown outside of Edmonton that I've dealt with in the past. It came out of a 2003 Chev SS truck but I don't think he had the truck on site as it took a while to get shipped in. I did call around though and most places had the LQ4 which is similar, but I wanted the LQ9 which has a bit more HP and I wasn't looking to do any power improvements to the truck yet --- I just want to get it together and painted, then finish my '98 next summer.
I'm keeping a list of my costs on this and where I got everything from, so at the half way point I'll post it and then again at the end when its done.
