why'd you take the heads off to swap cams, thats old school man, how many miles is on it and 900 for any year 5.3 is pretty steep. good luck though
wayyy steep the only difference in a newer 5.3 is active fuel management vally cover. for 1250 you can get a low miles 6.0 long block with intake.
Actually the newer 5.3s have better flowing heads, and the flat top pistons should give it a little higher CR.Quote:

lifters are 130 plus shipping
head gaskets are 65
lifter trays are 50
LS2 valley cover 150
head bolts 60 plus shipping
it comes with everything i got with it. all i did was pull the motor apart to start the lifter swap for the cam swap. i numbered every rocker arm an push rod.
tb coils complete intake manifolds motor mounts heads valve covers
900 is cheap imo an 1250 including all the parts ive already bought is a deal too
im going with a bigger motor in my CC so ill have a 25k 5.3 motor to use.
buy a higher mileage motor, buy 243s an mill em to make a higher compression.
they have people selling these 5.3s as a short block for 800.00 with higher mileage. i think im being fair because i paid shipping and taxes on the parts and taxes on the motor which you dont have to.
interested in selling just the heads?
your price for that motor is actually pretty decent.
figure 243s go for 400 bucks and 5.3s go for around 550
good luck with sale
thats cheap bro,if i had the cash ide buy it
