I have been looking for a long while and have the chance to get a 1999 LS1 out
of a Corvette that has all maintenance records and 70K miles. It does not come
with the harness, ECU or front accessories , it also has the bat wing pan which
I am pretty sure I can not use. The guy is asking $2500 but is open to offers. I
want to put it in my 72 Chevelle wagon which will be my daily driver. Is the
price out of line? I am thinking he will take $2000.

no harness, ECU or front accessories ? $1200 tops. $2500 is way too steep

I agree...For that kind of money you might be better off looking for an aluminum 5.3L that is more complete.

Agree with above. LS1 is getting old now. Without the accessories or harness i'd give $1200. Wit Accessories and harness maybe 1600

I agree the values are dropping quick. The LS2/3/7 is money now. For a moderate mileage LS1 (Complete, everything!), I wouldn't pay more than a $2K.
