need 3800 s2 +trans and some

[Gizmo]

Montana needs a new engine and trans but after some measuring, the N* idea is out.  Well, not without some hackery to force everything to clear.  As it usually happens, just threw a lot of new parts in the van and the timing of the head gasket was perfect.    The slipping tc lockup I was living with just fine...manual control and tdh fluid.

Looking for, preferably from a 2nd gen w-body....engine, trans, cradle, wiring and pcm.

Don't care if its na or sc, either will do.

Needs to be cheap and still have some life left.

I've got a free tranny, but it needs to be rebuilt.

Thanks, will keep that in mind.

I just don't have the time to tinker around, hoping to find something complete I can just bolt in and go.

Series III 3800 N/A engines go for about $600 to $1,000 a piece down this way with the trannies being an extra $300 to $400. Series II 3800N/A's go for around $500 and series II 3800 SC's around $600 and up depending on mileage. 
Some times you can get a better package deal depending on the wreckers. Dan
