Re: Scott's '51 Build
I was looking for an LQ9 but ended up finding an LQ4 out of a 2006 Silverado 3/4 ton with ~80k miles. I found a local salvage yard that specializes in trucks and also does swap packages. However, the motor was already pulled when I got there, the harness was cut (morons), the tranny was gone, and all the accessories were pulled off and the bolts were gone. Short version - lesson learned - next time I will just buy an entire wrecked truck and part out what I don't need.
I also found a 4L80e tranny from the same guys and they were really good about working with me to get all the missing pieces. I now have an extra complete harness, the computer, DBW gas pedal, O2 sensors in a piece of the exhaust, flex plate with spacer, the accessories, etc.
Bolted the motor trans together and dropped it into the chassis for a fit check.
