Yea.. a maximum of two weeks.. It comes from a place that buys totaled cars with good engines.. and they deliver to a place in town every Tuesday.. I don't get how it takes 2 weeks to get an engine out of a car, but what do ya do.. Especially considering that it will only take them a day and a half to take my old engine out and completely put the new one in.. tell me what's wrong with that picture lol

Wellll... the first engine I ordered had been sold... ordered another, came today..... with bad gaskets, missing timing cover, and gravel in the oil pan...... SOOOOOOOO they are sending it BACK after waiting all this time and then hopefully finding a new motor..... what the frick..... worst month ever.

Is there any way I can convince you to look for an LKQ and get a Low Mileage 2006-2009 Series III 3800?

A few questions...
What is LKQ?
How many miles?
Would it fit in my car?
And how much?
And where are you located/shipping charges?

CDawg, LKQ is a junkyard.

The series III longblock (re-use your intake and accessories, but with a new UIM), and you can find them with very low miles, since they were put in cars from 2004-2008. There's gotta be hundreds if not thousands of 3800's in junkyards near you. He doesn't have a motor in his possession, nor is he gonna ship you one from Florida, he's just trying to point you in the right direction instead of you having to wait 2 weeks for a motor that may or may not work.

yes but the company that is putting my engine in orders them, because they are verified to work and have a 90 day warranty.

Obviously if they're waiting for their third engine they're not verified to work. Find a junkyard w/ a 90 day warranty. Most do.

this is from a diff. place now... the engine runs fine, just has stuff wrong with it, so not taking that chance.
