I am looking at a 5.3 shortblock here is the ad, what is this actually worth in todays ls market? I see prices all over the place kind of lost

lol I would never buy that

at that price point you aren't far off from a fully dressed 6.2

 

I won’t argue the value here, but don’t let the strokers name get in the way. It’s a 5.3 with good rods and pistons. For comparisons sake, look at the engine in the link below, and consider all the details about the engine. It makes amazing power for a 5.3 and you know what your getting, from a name you can trust. For a few hundred dollars more, your getting a long block complete, and ready to dress.
