I was looking and found a clean Gen3 5.3L Shrt block out of a 2005 GMC Sierra with 30k miles. It comes with 853 heads.

This has the LS6 style aluminum block. Inside engine is clean and gorgeous.

As a newb is this a good starter setup to perform upgrades from?

This car will be a cruiser first adn foremost, but have the ability to take it to the strip.

Thanks All.

$500

Or I can get a complete 5.3L out of 2000 Silverado little dirtier but complete for about the same.

Do I go clean and buildable or complete and have to tear down?

Or should I get an LS long block for $300 and just start from there?

Thoughts from everyone is appreciated?

Get the most powerful one you can afford??? Used ls2,3,6? Take advantage of the opportunity if you have the money.
