I just snagged a 5.3 of e-bay for $700. Came complete w/all front accessories, complete wiring harness and pcm.....non of which I really needed, but the price was right. 6.0's are generally about a grand more from what I've seen.
I'd say if you're gonna do it, and you don't want to spend alot, but want decent power.... a 5.3 is the way to go!

My truck will never tow or race its bagged on air ride suspension which is why im not looking for a lot of power. i don't want the 6.0 simply because i just don't need that much power so why spend more? And there are major price differences. I wont be able to buy local since my truck is bagged and no way to move a motor at the time. And ive been searching online and the prices differences are alot

I think houston and the RGV area are the absolute easiest places to find truck parts for cheap.

well i was generally speaking on putting in a 4.8 with the full bolt ons for now since its cheaper. Then way later down the road when i have the money to spend i could throw something on it to get some more power not doing this all at once.
Yenkonoma what seller did u get the 5.3 from was that 700 shipped?
