Local performance shop found a 6.0 for me. They want 2000 for it. It is complete oil pan to intake. He has treated me good on everything I have on my truck and he said he trust the guy he is getting the motor from. It has 60000 miles on it and it is an 02 or newer. So is 2000 a good deal? It is an LQ4

 

sounds kinda of border line price?? whats wrong with the 5.3??? go ahead and put a stall in there so you can see what it really does.... by the way Im going to the track tomorrow, want to go?

 

I would give them 1500 no more, thats a good bit of miles on it. Im giving 600 for a shortblock that looks to be in a damn good condition. You can find that same deal on car-part for a bout 1400 if you look good enough. I would try and talk them down a bit thats alot for a decent amount of miles. I will say this, my 180K mile 5.3 when I pulled it the factory cross hatch could still be seen in the cylinder walls. I know my postis confusing the hell out of you but I personally wouldnt pay that much for the motor.

 

Nothing wrong with the 5.3 at all. It is running very good. I just want to go bigger. I figure more cubes more power I might go tomorrow not sure what is going on yet.

 

yea thats border line i would give no more than 1700

 

I got quoted $3500 for a LQ9 engine complete-from my dealer brand new in box!!

+tax of course. I decided to wait till my 5.3 blows first, which i hope is no time soon.
