Default whats the avg cost of a used vortec ls style engine?

just trying to get a idea.i got some one wanting to trade me a pulled running one for some work.

i'm waiting on the block numbers to see if its a 5.3 or 6.0 engine.i know its missing the intake,coils and valve covers but other then that its a long block.

thanks

5.3 and 4.8 engines go for around $300+-. ls1 and 6.0 go for $600 and up depending on miles and condition.

Depends on how used, and what size. I would open it up and take a look inside before you agreed to anything.

The 5.3 is not an LS1. The LS1 is 5.7L
