since my 350 took a **** im looking at engine options. found a complete 5.3 for $800 with harness and all engine accesories. still looking for a 6.0 but not having any luck. what all is involved in a 5.3 or 6.0 swap? what all do i need to get with the engine and about how much money should i expect to spend? thanks!

Im glad you asked this becasue im looking at this too. From what ive read the 5.3 fits great with a little motor mount adjusting you may have to change stall converters to gett the need found power from the LS based engine but it everything else works fine. Heres a guy on you tube who did this as well looks good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw9y1eAuc50

you need little money man look at my thread i made got a 5.3 sitting in with the tranny i went with a new built tranny most expensive but well worth it in the long run and just waiting on some goodies that i ordered so i could finish it just depends on what you want your setup to be if you want it stock with a stock tranny or you want it to have bolt-ons and if you want to do wiring right or cut and do it the cheaper way its all up to you
