Re: Short/longblock, 2g FWD transmission.

I don't know how I missed these replies.

Everything that I know of that is out there right now is almost double what you want to spend so sorry I can't help ya in any way.
Not true. I've heard stories from people picking them up for far cheaper than what I am willing to spend. A person can damn near buy a built block for $800-1200. Call it crazy if you want, but it is still stock; it isn't gold.

Thanks for your opinion however it really doesn't change too much. As stated above, I've heard of others getting parts for cheaper than I am looking to buy them for and having had zero problems.

I also recall seeing the parts I am looking for, for cheaper not all too long ago. It only figures when I need it none are to be found.

It would really depend on how well of condition it is in. How many miles it had on it before it was taken apart and such.
