Just like the review before mine, this engine shipped fast, at my house within 2 or 3 days. It’s a brand new engine with GM stamped in several places including parts on the engine. This is a rather easy swap, I did have to remove my intake manifold from my old engine and also my fuel pump as the plugs didn’t match up with the harness but no big deal. I did have to change the coolant stem and harmonic balancer as mentioned in the other review. I did find it much easier to remove the transmission with the engine. The two bolts on top of transmission are backward from all the others and a nightmare to reach. A lot less work, pulled the trans with the engine and no issues. I am attaching the exhaust tomorrow and prepping to start the engine for the first time. I will update my review afterward.

Best deal you can get on a LNF

It literally took 2 days to get to my house. It's exactly as pictured. I had to swap out the harmonic balancer, coolant stem, fuel check, and one stud for the air pump to make it work in my Saturn Sky which was expected. The customer support was also very professional and friendly.
Update 01/23/2020. I have had this engine for over a year and all is well! I've put roughly 8,000 miles on it and no signs of leaks, noise, issues. Something I forgot to mention in my initial review is that I found the exhaust manifold to be different, therefore the turbo and everything connected to it sits higher. I swapped out the manifold with my original one and when I tried to install the original drain pipe the old pipe was slightly too large for the hole in the oil pan. I used the new drain pipe even though it was slightly longer. It is flexible so it's able to bend to make up for the excess length. Overall I have been extremely happy!

Great deal for a complete engine. Note: Harmonic balancer doesn't have the PS part. Exhaust manifold is slightly different. Cat outlet is moved away from the motor slightly and rearward a little. Nothing you shouldn't be able to deal with.

I purchased what was advertised as a NEW GM LNF crate engine, per the listing on the ATK website and the invoice I was billed for. The engine I received has a REMANUFACTURED BY NON-OEM stickers on the shipping crate and the engine. This is clearly false advertising and I was sent the engine I didn't order or was billed for.
