LS3 Purchase debate - Lateral-g Forums

I found a complete 2010 LS3 out of a Camaro with ~30K miles. It has all accys, wiring, intake, etc except the computer and pedal. It also comes with the full TR6060 trans and has a Lethal Injection cam installed already. From dyno tunes I see on the web it seems to put out ~480hp to the wheel with the combo.

Guy wants $5k for all of it. There's nothing "wrong" with my SBC but seems like a good deal since I wanted more power for my car anyways.

Any thoughts on if this is a good deal? Anyone have any feedback of how difficult or costly the pedal and computer will be?

Being most want 10k for that setup, I'd say jump on it.

That's what I'm thinking...... and I thought my budget was blown before.....

Yup your getting a pretty crazy deal there.

I will have a new pedal extra in the next few days if you need it,just let me know,check with SMC Performance on computer or anything else he is very knowledgable on this and has everything in stock.

Definitely a great deal. If you chose not to buy it, pm the information and I will.

Almost seems to good to be true. As said, going rate is about $10k.

Why has it been removed?

I'd be concerned that it's been "tinkered" with.

I agree it seems almost too good to be true but I'm going to take a look at it later this week. Guy says he just needs money and has to let it go. The lack of computer concerns me a bit since it was pulled as a complete assembly. Kinda makes me wonder if it was stolen. Is there any way to check the VIN off the engine?

I've been checking around but can't find a clear answer. I currently have a close ratio T56 Mag behind my SBC. If I get the LS3 can I swap the T56 Mag directly in place of the 6060?

the derivative VIN is located on the drivers side on the block, just behind the head
