Price isn't too bad since it comes with everything and a warranty. Just look for signs of excessive mileage. I paid 750 after shipping for my 5.3.

well i went to the yard today and i was really confused because they claimed that all of the motors were 5.3 and i dont believe that... soo would the best way to tell tell is measure the stroke with a coat hanger and if its more that 3.5 inch its 5.3 and less is 4.8???

thanks for the help
