    Im right with Daniel but i would probably say around 1500 if you didnt put any spray through it. Only because it has low miles and it is in good shape. Well at least i think it is in good shape.

    i was thinking around 1300 or so simply because much higher u start finding 6.0&#39;s and lower its just not worth the trouble.

    Not to dispute anyone elses estimates but I bought my 20K mile 2003 5.3 with all accessories minus alternator and a/c compressor on Ebay for &#036;800 plus shipping. (no harness or PCM) Ebay can be a funny place as far as prices go..... The big wrecking yards on Ebay sell for more but private seller&#39;s prices are all over the place. YMMV
