I'm gonna do a motor swap for a 6.0. My 4.8 runs perfect, and I've never seen any trouble out of it. It does however have 90,000 miles on it. Do you think I could still get decent money for it? The guys at the place says they need my core before I can buy the 6.0l. But they want $1000 plus my core and I wanna make sure they're not ripping me off!

 

If you're getting a brand new crate 6L for $1000+ your 4.8 then I would say that's a good deal. I don't think the 4.8 would be worth very much, esp. with 90K miles on it.

 

Yeah good luck selling that 4.8. I only got $500 for my 5.3 shortblock with 26K miles on it and that was shipped price.

 

Actually the motor I'm getting has nothing wrong with it but still has 60,000 miles on it. Is that a bad deal?

 

that deal sucks!!

 

you could do better but basically your payn 1500 for that one... but i got a long block with 40k for 700

 

core charge on a different engine :wtf:
thats not a core. a core is there when you buy re-built stuff so they can keep rebuilding them.

You have core charges on transmissions so that they can just send you a transmission and you send yours back as opposed to you send it them, wait 2 weeks for it to built and then they ship it back.

 

Well....if it has 60K then maybe its not so geat.
For $1000 you could pick up a 6L block and get your choice of forged rods/pistons to build a nice Nitrous short block.
I would sell the 4.8 if possible and then shop for a better 6L.

check your local Salvage yards first, you can find a better offer!

 

Bought my 03 Lq4 with 12k mi for 1250.00 and no core charge. Check area yards for deals or www.car-part.com, good deals in this area on 6.0s, thinking of another for a spare.
