Any recommendations for motor supplier?

Thanks Warren, thats what i was basing my expectations of price on, but the price is a year old and the prices seem to fluctuate on availablility as a lot are surplus holden stock.

Stiffy,

I was going to make up my own wiring loom and buy an E38 ecm with the holden base tune and get security removed. I was going to give someone like Sideshow a call and see what they can do in the engine management area.

Any chance you can remember what you paid? sounds like buying it all together would be a reliable solution and probably cost effective. Maybe PM me the details?

Cheers.

I bought my crate motor through Eagle Auto parts. I believe they have a shop in Sydney now too.

engine prices are up the ass these days
we sold our last ls3 about months ago
now very hard to find in australia

recently priced up an l98 and found ls2/l98 motors are up near 6000 to 6500
eagle sell ls3s fo close to 10grand
add 2 grand for electricals and a grand for starter alternaotr psteerign pump etc etc
gets expensive

just beware when buying ecus from holmart or ballarat holden
we used to find the tune was not 100% spot of for a converison type motor
a std holden tune which they used to flash in works but we used to find afew minor probs if u used that ecu in anything but a std commodore that it came out off we have had to reflash some of them and afew cobra customers have had to pay twice for a flash/tune
