Buying used motor online

Any recommendations on buying a used motor online?

Looking for LS1, 6.0 truck motor for a 2006 GMC Sierra 2500

That would be the LQ4, not LS1.

I bought a used motor years ago but I am in Cali. Was going to refer you but he doesn't ship

If it's for a stock truck its hard to beat LKQ - they are all over the west (actually US) and will usually ship from any branch very inexpensively (usually $150 before the gas price increase)

I have put their engines in a couple Silverados with no issues and they give you a cert - so you can keep with truck in case their is future DMV or smog issues 

I should note engine prices have gone up - you are looking at 2000-2500 now

Have you thought about a reman instead of a used motor?  I used Powertrain Products for the 4.7 HO in my WJ and was very happy with working with them, and as far as I can tell the motor is solid (and included some upgrades like staked, hardened valve seats which are the Achilles heel of 4.7s).  I also just bought a used 6.1 Hemi off eBay from some rando dismantler, so I guess I'm rolling the dice there...

Thanks for the info. LKQ had what I wanted. $2400.
