good deal for a LS engine ?

Re: good deal for a LS engine ?

thinking the 650 is accurate , these guys know what they got

They've got an engine that GM made 8 trillion of and put in everything from vans, denalis, and fleet half tons. $650 is 6.0 money. These engines are not rare. A four bolt 010 is worth more then a 5.3.

I'd hate to run into Jim at a swap meet. :P

Some people seem to live where the 5.3 in a junkyard is rare.

Two years ago Rob Kinnan emailed me asking about finding a $400 5.3 LS engine like the Fairmont guys used - I called him on the phone, then conferenced in the LKQ salvage place in town, and they had them from $200 to $500 depending on mileage and whatever "cores" you got with them. Anternator, starter etc. $500 was loaded with everything to run the engine: harness, PCM, coils.

I haven't called *lately*, maybe there was a mad rush on 5.3s after everyone found out how much boost they will handle?

HX35 turbos used to be FREE from our local diesel shop. not anymore!
