I am looking at pulling a 5.3 or 6.0L from a junkyard in the area. I live in Lombard, just west of Chicago. Anyone know a good place to look around here? Thanks for your help.

While not close, Torrence Auto Wreckers has a couple of 6.0's 2wd complete. They usually are priced very good. Not sure on 5.3's 773-978-2160

 

Thank you very much, Ill give them a call!

 

Good luck. Hopefully they are still there.

 

Dude try victory auto wreckers 710 east green street in bensenville its 15 mins from you

 

You can check their inventory and pricing on line, they're super cheap too!

 

Thanks for the heads up.. Going to check there now!

There is at least 1 in Aurora and Midwest Recyclers in Elgin.

 

Torrance Auto Wreckers, would that be Steve? I bought Chevelle stuff from him like 22 year ago.

5.3/6.0 stuff pops up on FB all the time.

 

Is there a certain page on Facebook where these pop up? I personally don't have Facebook but my wife does. I can hop on my wifes and look into it. Right now my plans are to go 5.3/6.0 turbo in my 66 chevelle.

 

Yes. Steve is still there. Been a family business for years. He still buys up the older stuff at auction whenever he can.

 

I have used Staffords as well. Nice people, well run shop. I paid 450ish for a low mileage 4.8L complete.

 

I saw a local buddy post up an iron 5.3 complete the other day. Mike Locher on the North side.

 

Was this on Facebook or a forum?

 

i know this is vague but there is a guy in the industrial park in plainfield IL that has a stock pile of GM vehicles he parts out. Last time i was there he had a bunch of vans with 5.3 and 6.0s, he had 1 TBSS AWD he was parting out, and a couple of various pick ups. Ill try to look for his number but he told me he sells the 5.3s with accessories for $600.

He was off wolfs crossing and normantown rd.
