Default WTB LFX Engine Dropout

Starting to get parts for my LFX swap and haven't been able to find what I'm looking for locally yet. If any of y'all have a Camaro LFX dropout with manual transmission, flywheel/clutch, accessories and downpipes, etc., hit me up. MV5 transmission is fine. Looking for <40k miles.

I'm willing to pay for shipping as well if you're not local enough for me to drive and pick it up.

Yep. Unfortunately they don't tend to sell changeovers. They sell predominantly individual components, such as the engine, sans accessories, or the transmission. Buying each individually, especially getting a new clutch/flywheel gets really expensive, really fast.

The biggest issue is that I'm doing a BAR certified swap, which means I need the OEM downpipes with the catalytic converters, which cannot be purchased second hand from local vendors. Basically, if I piece everything together, its going to be $4000+, whereas VR8 is currently looking out for a full dropout for me. They just picked up a full dropout with 14k miles for $1800, and they're hopeful they can find another similar example soon, and ship it out to me when the find it. I'm just making sure I'm checking all avenues right now.
