Definitely pick it up for $300! Like they said, the motor alone is worth 400-500 in good condition. Once you slap on a Si or a GSR transmission, it'll haul ass. A buddy of mine has an LS in his coupe with a LSD GSR tranny. It's pretty quick on it's feet!

*EDIT* That's also the latest gen LS motor too. At least you know it's from a newer LS, and not some late 80's teggy from some shady dude on CL. And it's auto too, and stock! Chances are some old lady bought an automatic to drive to and from church on Sundays. Find a cheap Si/GSR transmission, the tranny mount, and call it a day. Pretty much everything to get the car on the road is there. Oh, and axles, but those are pretty cheap.

i dont know how true that is on all AUTO ls's but the good 5 or 6 short blocks that i got from auto cars were like that.
