Default LS1tech Newbie needs help

New to the forum, Just bought a 72 C10 looking to do a re-power, have trouble finding a good 5.3 and 4160e combo. Live in North FLA looking for something i can go get with trailer. Any advice? Anyone use CoPart?

Welcome! I can't really help you with your engine/tranny search, but I can't wait to see your progress. I absolutely love late 60s/early 70s C10s!

Copart is really cool. But I never di buy anything. I couldnt understand all the red tape. Fee for this and that. But I still think that for a powertrain swap it is a good source. You just have to watch the auctions like a hawk. Chances are best on craigslist.
