How much is a 5.3 engine worth?
I've been looking around for a set of 799 or 243 heads. I came across a guy who had replaced the engine out of a 2007 silverado, I believe the engine had spun a bearing which is why it was replaced. But the motor had 799 casting heads, yet the owner will only sell the whole engine because he needs it for a core. He said he would sell it for 300 It is complete with injectors, intake, everything but the computer and wiring harness. Is this worth the price?

I had a feeling it was worth it, but I can be a tight wad at times haha. I might go pick it up today. These heads are a good replacement for the 853's correct? Or do I need to do some porting and polishing on them to make them completely worth it?
