Looking to buy a LS2 for my 71

[BR3W CITY]

I'll take an LS motor over a GenI anything. The LQ4 is every bit as reliable, and pretty much just as cheap to setup and work with. I got my block with most of the accessories (no harness or ecm, no trans) for less than $800 with ~60k on it. Stock swaps can be done for under $5k, some WELL under that..just depends what your looking for in the long run, what you can do yourself, etc.
