Just what exactly is involved in swapping in an L67 series 2 into say, my car. There is a good deal on the L67 engine and trans i'm looking at, so what else is involved and how much would it cost me. The powertrain i'm looking at is $2000. There is also an LSS i'm looking at thats $5200. Would a swap in my car be cheaper than buying a already */c'd car?

How many miles on the LSS and what year? $5200 looks good at first glance, but describe the condition of the car.

To do a L67 swap you would need the engine, trans, and PCM...that'* keeping it simple though. Do you really want to be messing with the entire wire harness? That'* a big long brain farting obsticle and would require days of banging your head on the fenders. Most members here would probably agree to go with the LSS. Besides its a complete sleeper and I'm all into that look now.

The LSS is a 97' and has 107K on it. It looks almost identical to my car only with a more Aroraish look and of course the Series 2 L67.

107k is a little high for a 97. What'* the engine look like after inspection? Did you take it for a test drive?

I haven't gone to look at it yet, its about 90 miles from here so i'll have to wait for the weekend. Anyways what should I look for, any common problems with the L67 series 2 as they age? Here is a link to the ad.

You can do better then that for the price. Lower milage etc.

Maybe not so much as "do better" as to bring the price down some. Offer $4200 or $4500 and see where it goes. Point out the high mileage and need for proper tune-up.

Then there is this one that I did test drive back in June. Its still for sale and has been for almost 6 months now. It drove like a bat out of hell but had some issues- coupler, air shocks, ect..

the only thing about that last LSS is that its a 95 and that will have the series 1 */c engine rather than the series 2 */c engine...
