I have the same, more spare ecotecs than Buick but ecotec is too much modifying to get the same level of goodness of the buick and is why I have spare ecotecs around as I gave up on them and didn't end up using any of them.

I am thinking of flogging off all the ecotec stuff at some point. A bit of NOS L32 stuff and what not. I'll keep the sumps though as they are a nice upgrade for the Buick.

They weren't cheap for me, they actually cost at the time much more than the Buick. I paid 500 for ecotecs and that was the best price at the time, normal wrecker price was 750.

Buicks were 200-300 on average. I acquired one free (non working) ecotec but over the years I got heaps of practically free buicks which I sold for profit. One of the ok ecotecs I got I have not been able to sell even with them being supposedly more expensive and in demand.

if anything is more in demand its the buicks due to the mang mang burnout brigade blowing them up constantly. not so much the ecotecs but theres a heap more ecotecs floating around.

also cheap are the later v6 with the timing change problems. people are giving them away.

I don't know about that. I had some 5L parts and a totally fucked engine and it sold instantly, had people fighting over it.

Can't sell ecotec for some reason, still stuck with all of mine. L27 Buick I can but takes a while to move now, LN3s sell shit easy as they have urban myths attached to them lol
