L94 good buy? @ $1500 complete?

[whytry]

I've tried searchingfor a L94 but nothing really showed up. I have been looking for a LQ4/9 for awhile in my price range and stumbled on a L94 this am. I do not know much about the motor except it was in a 2010 Escalade that was rearended and totaled has 80k on the motor I'm told. It is complete with harness, acc, etc. Only thing missing his the exhaust manifolds and he broke a belt tensioner in transport.

If I was to pick this up (as it seems like a pretty good deal), what would you guys do on a budget cam/heads/intake? I have a F1R I want to use on it. I have read its good to keept the VVT for low end torque for street driving... I am thinking since its 403hp factory it might not need as much as some of the other options cost wise or am I mistaken? I need to make a decision as quickly as possible so I dont loose out if I am correct in thinking its a good deal.



Thanks guys!
