Default Motor Delima

heres the deal....my truck is down (fried 5.3 and got sideswiped) and my little sister wrecked my daily driver. So my truck has to get in the shop asap....like tomorrow. i was waiting to find a used 6.0, but prolly going to take a loan out to buy a brand new one. I can get a brand new 04 lq4 for 2500.
question is:
are there any engine packages around here that may have a slightly built 6.0? maybe some heads/cam/pistons? something around $3500?
thanks,
chris

Check the sponser's specials and group purchases section. Someone always has something going on.

Contact Scoggin Dickey, I seem to recall they had a few of their budget stroker shortblocks in stock, or very near completion. You can just about buy a cheap 408 for the price of a new GM motor.
