Default 6.0 on the way

Can somebody let me know if I got a deal or what. Just bought 6.0L out of a 02 escalade on ebay for 450 bucks. I guess I got it so cheap because it needs some work (needs oil pan and left head is bad) and has 76K miles. Planing on building a 402 stroker with it. What do you guy's think??????????
Oh yeah cant forget the freight charge........205.63

Its very dirty, but your rippin it apart anyways. For what you payed....and what have planned I think it was a steal. When I bought my engine/tranny I was looking for the cleanest possible one out there because I just want to run it for now.

I have a truck oil pan/windage tray/pickup tube for sale if your interested. I also have stock exhaust manifolds but it appears yours are fine, and I'm sure LT headers will be bolted on there anyways.

Yeah its gonna be a long project. Thinking of a supercharged, 402 with some nos. I really want a turbo but I just think its hard as hell to get them tunned right and the software you need isn't cheap. (or they might be easy to tune i just have no idea) All this is going in my 01 sierra reg cab. I still have much to buy....4L80E, transfer case etc.

Single t-76 turbo it, You hit 11's easily I'd think if the trucks light enough.
