What's the list of problems? I'm not in Ottawa anymore but the fam is, I may be interested in parts.

Does anyone have any idea as to what I should be paying to have my old engine removed and the new one put in? I've got quotes ranging from $560 to $1400 USD. I need some insight from someone with experience in the matter.. I want to get this done right the first time. Is it more or less a plug...

Little bit of an update.. That engine I found has 76,000 miles on it, which, oddly enough, is about 76,000 less than the existing one. He's asking just under $700 USD and will ship it to my trusted mechanic to install for cheap, he's only about 2 hours away. I've pretty much decided to go this...

I was experiencing rough acceleration around 45-65 MPH, and after a bit of research and figured it was misfiring. Could that have been a symptom of, say, a chain slipping one tooth, only to further slip and cause the real damage? I've located a 3.9 right here in BC, just waiting for monday...

I've called 6 yards in BC none of which have any Gen1 LS's. I'll be calling around for the next few days on my spare time to see if I can source one. I found a gentleman parting out a Gen1, but of course, the drivetrain was already gone. Does anyone have input on scooping a motor up off Ebay...

Would slipping a tooth cause the engine not to fire? I've read conflicting reports on the matter. P.S. I'm not communicating directy with the mechanic, but through shop staff

Hey guys, I'll cut right to the chase. 2002 LS8 sat for a month, and when I went out to start it the battery was shot. It was replaced by the previous owner with a non-vented version, so I picked up a factory battery from the dealer and replaced it. Then the drama. The engine was...

Delete.. Duplicate post. My bad.

F@CK. You bought that motor!? I'm in Canada and I actually need it. I'll pay you to ship it back. Hah.

I have the same issue in an '02, although no remedy to report. I'll be watching this thread closely.

Pretty sure my '02 is 38

Now I find myself intrigued with regards to who holds the title of lowest mileage LS on LvC. Hmmm...

'02 LS8 - 150k
