To do my swap all I really need is the motor right?? I looking at a LQ9 out of a 2003 Cad Escalade with 8,000miles on it for 3000.00, is that good?? What im asking is... Can I use my harness, intake, throttle body, Alt, powersteering, smog pump, and all that bull ??

 

for $3250 you can get the motor complete with accessories on ebay, then part out your current accessoriesto make money back... that should also give you the higher output alternator from the escalade

 

check out www.car-part.com I found local 02+ 6.0s with around 33,000 miles on them for $1000. Granted yours has a lot less miles and I'm not sure if the ones I found had all accessories, but it think $3,000 is pretty high.

 

3,000 isnt bad for that low mileage. but here in houston, ima be getting mine brand new for 3 grand

 

You can use it all. I had to change oil pressure senders though. You will need your 5.3 flexplate too!

 

I have a 4.8 , is that still cool ??

 

why would he need to do that? i used the LQ9 one for my setup and no issues
