Where have you guys purchased your Junkyard motors from? I'm looking at getting a 5.3 from Don's Automotive. Any word on them? They seem easy to deal with, over the phone anyway. Prolly pick it up end of next week if everything goes according to plan. Anyone else I should check out near the Allentown area? Thanks,Mark.
