I been looking for a good 5.3 to build @ junk yard and they all want 1000 wtf i read 500 is more like it are they trying to rip me

 

500 is what I paid plus a $150 core charge

 

I'll be selling my 5.3 in a few weeks.

 

Are you looking at just the short block or intake to oil pan??? Most of the time you should be able to get the short block very cheap. Some people give away 4.8's, i know its not a 5.3 but its the same block and piston diameter, all you need is crank and rods. What are you planning to do with it?

 

I can get a 5.3 with harness and computer pulled for $550 and if I go and pull it with out harness and computer its $125 haha

 

I called my local yard and they said 4.8s and 5.3s with anywhere from 90,000 and 130,000 go for $500, that's pan to intake complete with harness and computer. He didn't have any 6.0's and also said they hardly ever have them but said that he doesn't see why they wouldn't sell for the same price.

 

i want to build a nice solid motor mostly top end stuff eventually id replace the intake with a FAST intake

 

Around 700 around here....

 

Hey whitechevy3 where are looking at in Oklahoma to get a engine for 700 I have a 4.3 but I would like to swap it for a 5.3 and do you know of anywhere to get a decent 5 speed too

 

6.0s go for around 1000 with harness and all that good stuff.
