57k miles 5.3 complete for $1,200 I just left the JY and I'm coming back this Monday to pick up my 5.3 just wondering if I paid to much. I'm pretty sure I didn't but it doesnt hurt to ask the veterans
Its going in my 95 Camaro, switching to fbody accessories z06 manifold $150 .z06 cam local for $120. And found a stock ls1 kmember for $100.

So I was looking over the block and noticed it was cracked from the bottom. I got my money back as it never left the junk yard. My luck!!!!
They have a 4.8 for 600 complete with 90k miles this block looks great without any cracks should I go 4.8 or just wait for another 5.3 . I need some opinions please.

if you go with the 4.8 , turbo it?
Those prices seem high in your area for engines. where are you?
in chicago, 5.3s can be had from 400-800. did you check car-part.com? you can save some money, you don't need the ls1 kmember, you can use your lt1 kmember with adapters, Merv has the parts in one of his threads.

I'm located in Los Angeles I can't seem to find any 5.3 below a $1,000.
Turbo is the direction I'm headed. The plan is to go 5.3 single front mount turbo and IC for simplicity. No twins here
I have mervs thread and spoke with him a bit, he ran into some clearance issues with the adaptors and the T56.

Check A-1 Auto and Truck wrecking in Rialto. I just did a quick search in their on-line inventory for an '02 5.3 and got three hits for $700 (1) and $600 (2) @ 27, 35, & 38K miles. Big inventory, but it changes fast; call them.
