Somewhere in DFW TX if possible.

I have a contact in dallas for engines, ill look for the companys # when i get to work.

How much are you looking to pay?

when I see what people have I will determine my max amount at that point. I can tell you the last one I bought was 400.00 for a 30K 5.3L and it had all the sensors with it. I won't be willing to go much more if any because they just don't bring that type of money. Now if we were discussing a LQ9 it would be a different story.

I need it for my father in law. He has been very very sick and I'm trying to help finish his dream project with limited funds. Ideally he wanted a LQ9, but with everything else that has to be done I don't see it in the cards. I could swing it, but I'm dumping a good amount of cash into my home now. I don't see me splurging like I used to do on toys.

It also needs to be a virgin no mods or previous mods. I don't need something someone has had their hands in.

If you get a good deal on a shortblock I have some clean 5.3 heads with springs, rockers, stands, and MLS gaskets I will let go for $120 shipped.

Thanks, but I want something that I can verify the history. I have been screwed once before from a salvage yard and I'm not going that route again. I have multiple sources to buy blocks and what not from, but I don't have the energy or time to dick with building it.

thanks for the offer. I will see how things shake out.

what casting are they? Not the number but rather the company.

stock 706 heads from an 05 5.3

that doesnt tell me who actually cast them. I need to know that. There should be a symbol on the top of the head that will tell me who made them. Like Castech uses a symbol that looks like a battery.

EX.
