I have a 99 silverado with a 5.3 engine,it got hot and then no oil pressure ! I took it apart and everything looked ok,no spun bearings, And so i took it to a local machine shop and there telling me it has collapsed pistons,but doesnt need bored,but its gonna be$1,900 for rebuild kit and the machine work ,and i had a heartattack ! What should i do? I would like to find a new stock shortblock and resurface and use my heads,does anyone know somewhere i can find this ? Or another engine maybe even a 6.0 with my parts ? Even a newer motor that will work?

I need someones help on a motor to get this running again

 

i picked up my 6.0 for 700.00 with 85k on it. they are cheapier ones out there but might have some miles on it.

 

we have a couple in my autotech class we might be able to sell, pm me if you want some more info.

 

Where are you located?
Why do so many users not at least list their home state?
How are other people going to know if they're close enough to help out?

 

I am in Jefferson city,Missouri ! I didnt see a location place when i signed up,but my girlfriend did it for me that explains it !

 

Hey, jeff city, I pm'd you with a motor and tranny. I live at the lake.

 

You're a little far for me to help you out. did you do a search on car-parts, for a local yard with one?

 

is it a direct swap going from a 5.3 to a newer LQ4 6.o?

 

i have a 5.3 from an 07 tahoe...all of the accessories(starter, ac comp., etc.) comes with pcm also...pm me for more info...engine still has factory ac delco oil filter on it...engine has 9xx miles on it
