Default LS motors - Where to buy??

So I know that we had a vendor on here that used to sell used package deals LS motors (I won't mention the name), and I guess they don't want to be a sponsor anymore, so no more ads here.

My question is, does anyone know who has similar deals? I would rather support a vendor who participates in one of our car forums. Lat-g would be great, but I would be open to those advertising on other forums.

For those following my build, I'm not going to the darkside I'm staying with Poncho power on mine. I'm looking for my little brother, he's about to pick up a Nova and wants to go with LS power and a 6-speed swap.

Thanks

I checked out Cleveland Pick-a Part's website and that thing is just a mess. I know they used to advertise here and had some decent deals, now it all seems to be e-bay. Guess I'll just keep an eye out for what pops up. There's no rush on this one, just trying to find the best all in one solution.

You can try you local junk yard. Just pick up the phone directory and make the call. Not everything is listed online. Here is the listing of the Junk Yard/Savage yards in Reno NV.

I've dealt with most of the local junkyards here and they are extremely overpriced on anything I ever need. It's not so much the motor, it's all the attachments (wiring, computer, accessories, etc...) that they get you on.
