ok and how much am i looking at just for the engine cause i really wont need anything beings im swapping everything over

[Botlfed]

couple hundred prolly around 500 for a used one dont pay over a grand though at least i wouldnt

[silverado120]

ya this one guy i went to told me 1100 i said i dont need a complete motor and he said it wasnt so i called around and found a few betwen 500 and 750.being im buying and it will already be out of the truck do you think that would be a good time to port and polish the heads cause im already gunna put a cam in just not sure what kind yet

yes do the heads if you have the time, also put the heads back on while outta the truck, once its in the engine bay torqueing heads sucks

ya thats what i though but i have really been debating on the 5.3 or 6.0 i know i would be alot happier with the 6.0 but the gas milage may keep me from getting on and i dont know how long my 4l60 trans woould last with that extra power i would put the 4l80 but im not ready to do that yet
