Ok 6.0 it is Since Ill be using my Radix I guess I just need from the heads down includeing water pump may aswell get pulleys and alternator & PCM is there any thing else I may be forgetting Iknow I dont have to have some of the things listed but might as well get em. oops is the throttle body different from a 5.3 to a 6.0?

 

don't you have a 65e? I don't remeber...Good luck keeping the 65e in there with 6L AND the radix. It all starts with a few hundred here...cam, here, new motor later...then a trans...some heads...alcohol...ahhhh. $ $ $ $ $ Soon your wondering what the hell happended to the budget of 3k. LOL

 

Man that statement is so true....

 

breeze I've got an LQ4 for less than 3000.00 if your interested pm me

 

I got my 04 Lq4 complete for $1175 shipped. Dont spend 3K just for the motor

 

I have a 60e with a Trans go S/K and Vette servo Im getting a FLT level 5 with a few other goodies.

I am not locked into this motor they quated 3k shippedthe motor only has 7 miles complete with everything including everything thats why I asked the question above so I dont buy things I dont need.

 

You can use your throttle body, it's the same. You also don't need the PCM. I would think an LQ4 longblock would be perfect for your situation, since you don't need the intake, injectors, throttlebody, manifolds, etc. Did the place I told you about quote you $3k??? Cause I see them all the time from THEM for $2100 or so....as cheap as $1999. Shipping is like $150-$180, so that's still a lot less than $3k. I've even seem them list 6.0L and 4L80E combos' before for under $3k. If they've gone up on their prices, I say shop it around.

 

That was a quoted shipped price for a complete 7 mile 6.0 but like said above I dont nead all the other bolt ons so it is $2100 shipped I talked to them while I driving down the road and out of all the traffic & **** going on around me I told him send me everything and he told me it would be 3k thats where the 3k came from my bad. I think I do need the PCM I beleive westers locks his some how and I would rather start with a new one.

 

buy a used 6.0 well seasoned on mileage and build it up the way you want it with all the nice parts that make power for 3000.00.
or you can spend 3000.00 on a 6.0 with low miles and spend more money on a cam, springs, head work, oil pump, arp bolt set's so on and so on.
that by the time your done with that low mile 6.0 will cost around 5000.00

 

If you already have a Westers tune just have him tune for your new setup. Or, If you are going hptuners or something else, just tell him which one and he can unlock it for you.

My current tune is a Westers unlocked for hptuners.
