New Opinions On Engine

[shenk10]

I found an ls2 locally out of a traiblazer ss that comes with the transmission which is the 4l70e, harness and computer, with around 45,000 miles. The price is $4,000. Most ls2 engines alone that I have seen have been more than this. Do you guys think this is a good deal and buying an ls2 is better than a lq4 or lq9? Is this transmission fine if I decide to do upgrades to the engine in the future? The only thing I'm questioning is that the transmission is for a awd, so how much money/hastle will it be to convert it to 2wd? Thanks for all the help and opinions.
