Catastrophic Engine Failure <90k miles, out of warranty.

09 is AFM only and I really don't see them being more than the price of an LS3.... lol. I could price one out but I don't want one so, lol. Hell if they are worth that much I will start buying them up here new and shipping them down to you guys. That said you States people seem to pay way too much for a lot of stuff like used trucks.... used 6 liters.... so hmmm.. maybe.

Figure 4k for the engine after core, 20 hours at 100 each, that's 2k, about 400 in taxes, misc. fluids, supplies, a new AC compressor belt, and I'm around 7k.
Parting out not an option, I still owe a bit on the truck. It's been there a week, including a weekend. As of yesterday, the engine was supposed to arrive today from being 4 days out.
Did I go the gearhead way out? No, but I used to, and could have provided I had the time.
I also bought a diablosport to turn of AFM immediately. I let you all know how it goes.

Truck is back from the shop, runs great! No more valve train noise on startup, and the DiabloSport 87 tune with firm shift points....Man! the truck feels like it should have from the factory. No more sloppy shifting, quick throttle response, and the truck runs very smooth.
I guess for 7k it should though right?
