Like the title says, I just purchased this engine from GM to put into a project vehicle a 1979 Land Rover, right hand drive truck. There is only room for a 4 cylinder engine so we decided on this set up.
anyways, I bought the engine, but it's pretty bare. I need a flywheel, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, throttle body, fuel rail, injectors,clutch, balancer, a/c bracket, tensioner, alternator bracket, dipstick, turbo coolant lines, oil cap and I'm sure there are some other things that I"m missing.
My question is where is a good place to get some of these parts for my project? I live in Az. and will start looking at junk yards this week. But I"m sure some of the stuff I can find online. Where is a good place to buy this stuff online?

Any help would be appreciated. I know that I'm the new guy here but have many years of V8 stuff, just never put in a Ecotec into a Land Rover before.

I get all of the fun jobs!

an lnf?? if so have fun, ull need ecu, bcm, and all that bs. zzp has lots of stuff. but if it is lnf, u should probably look for a totalled cobalt and buy it and take all u need from there

I don't believe he'll need a bcm if he gets it tuned by trifecta/vince. Vince was able to find a way around it with his tuning software I believe on the airboat project. OP, do you have a transfer case/transmission that will bolt up to the LNF?

There are a couple complete motors on eBay and I noticed that some of the people who sell the complete motors tend to sell a lot of spare parts as well. You might try there too.

Best bet will be rear wheel drive parts from a Kappa platform, (Solstice/Sky), rather than the FWD stuff I would think. Possibly could find a wrecked car to get all you need from it, but at that rate you might be better off getting the used engine as well.

You might also want to PM Mongorat here on the forum. He's always got nice goodies.

Wow! Great responses guys thanks for the help. I may be contacting some of you for parts. I'm getting the new ECU and harness any day now from the dealer. Been really busy trying to catch up on other projects, but will be on this when I get it back from the other shop.

what did it cost ya for the motor?

Paid $5800 total for engine, turbo, harness, computer and gas pedal. I'll have to look when I get back to the shop for the actual price of the engine alone.
