you will probably get more by parting it out. Nobody has any respect for the smaller engines

You aint kidding. I bought two 5.3L's for $244/piece, and just a week ago picked up a 4.8L for $265. All are full, running motors if I were to just drop them in. Of course, me being me, I can't leave a motor alone.


cmb570, I'd sell the heads on LS1tech. I'd also put your stock cam back in and sell the motor for parts, but keep the Comp camshaft for a later build or sell it to a friend or something.
