play the cards right and he can do a LQ4 6.0L swap.
If he had time for that i would talk him into it. But he needs a drop in motor asap nothing very technical.
Recently saw these on C/L #s approximate:
Longblock Gen 1 block fully machined flat tops vortec heads never run $600 (might still be there) Easy 375 hp crank and over 400# tq
Roller cam TBI motor shortblock $225
Running 5.3L including intake and accessories $800
'97 vortec 5.7 97,000 miles $650
I've seen so many deals on Gen 1 stuff I've considered storing my NBS and building a '72 swb just cuz it would be so cheap and fun.
Just try to get a 1-pc seal - roller cam motor
