Ecotec Motor
roughly 30k miles on it, came out a rolled vehicle but ran when the motor was pulled. Came from someone in Portsmouth, Ohio.
I bought it from a very trustworthy friend in 2006, when i still had plans of direct motor swap when i had my '00 convertable Z24.
The motor itself has been stored and kept in a dry place. It is missing a few odds and ends that he never got for it, like the intake manifold and throttle body, nothing super hard to come by
ebay used motors are going for $600-$800, seen a few on CL for around $600-$700 (not counting shipping, if applicable). Looking to get $500-$600, Local pick-up only, unless you would like to divy out the cost for shipping. lol I'm sure it'd be freight and $150 or more for the shipping. Possibly interested in a trade as well, looking for a '99-'01 2.2. OHV with low miles on it to rebuild and turbo. Would take that motor plus $100-$200 as a trade pending on condition and milage.
The motor hasn't been ran or used in 3 going on 4 years. I'd rather see this put to good use, than think i'll financially afford a full Eco swap on my '99 ANYTIME soon. Woudl be great for a rebuild, or a replacement motor for unlucky happenings.

Either cash $500-$600, or a trade plus a little cash (I'm open to the possibilities of that, yes.)
But I don't wouldn't be interested in a motor that was removed non-problem free running. Looking for a 2200 to build, so if a piston ring went in it and scored the cylendar wall, or rods broke casuing havok inside the motor, i'd probably not be interested in it.
But if there's nothing wrong with it, I'd consider it plus some cash.

*shrug* i just based a price off of a craigs list/ebay search for the core motor guys. That's about all i can do, I paid More than that for it and all it has done is sit in a weather proofed shed/shop for almost 4 years. Being i lost my job now, I can't really be too picky about getting rid of things for a cheaper price to just get rid of it. Sorry that the economy's @!#$. lol

u got ripped off man. for JUST AN ENGINE you paid OVER $600?????
i can go to a pull-a-part, and get an ECO engine with 30-60,000 miles on it, the tranny for it, the ECU and other computer stuff needed, and the complete wiring harness for like $6-700ish man!!!!
if someone offers you 400 i would take it.
becuase mot people can get this motor for about $250-300ish at the junk year...even with those kinda miles.
