WTB: LS1 engine! - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

I have a line on an '01 Z28 for dirt cheap that may have a blown engine (supposedly has rod knock, but the battery was dead when I went to look at it the other day so we couldn't start it up). Looking for a used engine that I could just have swapped in so I could re-sell the car for a little profit if it does indeed have a bad engine. Does anybody have a source (or have one themselves (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ) of a used LS1 engine. I've looked at car-part.com, and there are a couple on eBay right now, but I'm hoping some F Body geek might know of another one. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'm hoping for something in the $2000 range. This particular car has 85,000 on it, so anything under that in running condition is OK.

Or if anybody wants to hassle with the car, I will divulge the whereabouts and contact info for a $500 finder's fee. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) It's an '01 Z28, red, 6 speed, T-tops, cloth interior, 85K ....
