hey guys, heres the situation, I have a 5.3 with 150k on it. Starting to get some problems out it, oil leak, knocking and is starting to act slugish. Ive already bought a 216/224 cam, tt300 stall and headers that i was getting ready to install. My question is i found a 6.0 with no acces. with only 12k miles for 1500, is this a good deal or would it be better, (cheaper) to just fix my motor before the mods?

 

If the 6.0 is in 12k mile condition then its a little high, but if I would get it for 1000-1200 then I would get that before throwing parts at an engine thats on its way out...

 

Do yourself a favor and do it. You will be very happy that you did.

 

For only 12Kmi 1500 doesn't sound all that out of line. Id prob offer him 1300.00 and see what happens.

 

Great price but like stock said try to get em down a couple hundred, and remember there is no replacement for displacement! I got my 6.0 w/ 4l80e, harness, computer and they even pulled it for me for 1200$ but i was already gonna go through the motor so milage had no factor to it..... 12k miles is very reasonable

 

**** thats a steal to me..... I paid $1300 for a LQ9 with 65k and i thought i got a deal!

 

Ye man I'm torn not sure What to do

 

That's a score of all scores.

As 03tahoe22 said, "**** thats a steal to me..... I paid $1300 for a LQ9 with 65k and i thought i got a deal!". His quote sounds more in line, but it varies by region & if they're sittin on a bunch of them.

 

where did you get yours from im only 40 miles south of bossier, the one i found was from a junkyard in carthage tx, and the guy said they just got it in and that was the only one they had. But if you know of a better place please let me know

 

ive been using the search button alot and i think im about to figure it out, but so far with i can reuse everything but have to swap the flywheel and intake, what else do you have to change?
