Southern Calif wrecking yards: I'm trying to buy a take-out LS LY6 motor... places to goto, places to avoid.?

[Sherpa]

I'm planning (trying to make it) to the Pomona swap this sunday... and while I've seen on craigslist some LS takeouts, I was curious to see if there are some of the yards
there that are definite places to avoid at all costs, or suggested yards to investigate....

thanks!

last time I pulled an engine from pick your part it was like $275 complete. just gotta be on top of the incoming lists so you can get to it before the vultures.

Maybe try giving Indiana Truck Salvage @ 951-737-7753 a call to see what they may have too...I believe they pull the things off the trucks for you vs you doing it though.

I've bought from LKQ , before , no problems. Just remember , the mileage numbers are probably not accurate.

I watch all these guys on youtube buying whole cars from copart for like $200... yet in CA they require an account/broker/etc and its like $2000 minimum for a burned down frame. Sucks.

I knew the dad when they were small time back in San Gabriel? Or was it Alhambra?

Whole family of first class people.

Last week CBM had a few iron block LS’s on the floor, fresh builds for cheap.
