YouTube - vortec engine test 5.3 and trans
i emailed them for compression numbers on the cylinders
and oil pressure at idle and reved up
the engine is about 2hr's from my parents house
i was thinking about buying it for my project truck
seems like a pretty good deal
If the guy's name is Oscar Jaurez, purchase at your own risk. He's about that close to you.
Stay away from him he is a scam artist. STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He told me my 2006 lq9 had 17k miles on it. he gave me a messed up 2003 lq9 with over 50k miles on it. He promised he sent me 1 set of 317heads and never did. He is a lair and a scammer.
EDIT, I'll let Tyler make fun of the spelling.
These guys know what's up. Pay attention.
i wrote a email to the guy about real pictures of the motor of the one he is selling and not something else with highways
and this is what he wrote back within a hr

I Have 14 engines in stock, all from 2001 to 2006 mileage from 77k 71K 66K 59K 47K down to 21K
Pick one and well work from there.
Price varies with mileage as I pay more for the lower mileage engines
Price ranges from 1800 to 2300 (oviusly the 21K is 2300)
Let me know what you are looking for and we can help you with delivery to SD
If you look at my feedback, there is alot to say about all the perfetly working engines sold.
15 mins later he emailed me again with this
Jake
If you feel better waiting till you get a chance to come by and check one out, lets arrange for that.
You can email me before you come, I can let you know what I have in stock that week and I can have one ready for you to see running and a compression tester you can use to measure all 8 cylinders.
After all there is no better feelin than the one of driving home happy with the engine you picked and are satisfied with.
hummm, i have searched here for all the different names he goes by and
some are kind of happy and about 90% are pissed off at him for ripping them off
so i figure if i can check oil pressures and compression in person i may be alright with dealing with this guy
but i will let you guys know what happens in a few weeks when im back in san diego
im up in alaska till the 21st and im moving out from here
also i work in air force vehicle maints, so i know what to look for as far as the reg stuff goes and i used to rebuild trannies before i came in but is their any special ls stuff i need to look for?
my last truck was a 2000 gmc 5.3/4l60e
and i changed injectors and put in a tune and made the exhaust from the stock headers back, and did a little wiring repair, and have read all the ls books i could get my hands on, so i know alittle when it comes to ls motors
on a side note, im waiting for the how to swap ls book to come out in jan 09, as this will be my 1st ls swap but not 1st sbc swap
the more info i can get my hands on the better, and im gonna do all the fab work to make this truck run
thanks for the heads up about this guy
If it’s the Oscar dude, you’re better off getting an Lq4 out of the junk yard, tearing it down and rebuilding it. 2300 is a lot IMO for a 5.3. You can find Lq4's for 1/2 that. Make more power, and torque. As well as respond better to mods. Hell, get an Lq4 bare block, bore it .030 over, get 4.0 crankshaft, and nice pistons and rods, you got yourself a forged 408. I bet you can get the rotating assembly for about that.
engine/tranny/acc/harness for 2g's plus alittle gas money to pick it up in person
ive been watching ls engine prices on ebay and most of them don't come with the acc
and i wouldn't pay that much for a motor by itself but with everything to drop it in, doesn't seem to bad
my 10bolt is from a 93 f/s truck, and im gonna switch it over to 6lug when i shorten it and stick some z06 vette calipers on it with a aftermarket 14in 99plus truck rotor
i already have the 6piston front calipers and rotors, gonna make the brackets out of 3/8's and keeping the straight axle up front
if not i may end up going with
a tbi 4.3/4l60e from the 93 truck in this project
I have every email he sent me, and it seemed perfect. you have been warned though. He has scammed several people on this forum and has been banned from here, and he also has had problems with paypal, they sent me 800 bux b/c of this jerk. BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!! You have been warned.
i found a 5.3 in riverside with 51k for 750
im emailing them to send me pictures
and to see what it comes with
my older brother works up in riverside, so its not to far away from san diego
and i found a 06 l59 5.3 with 6k miles on it for 950 thats a few mins away,
im gonna call that yard tomorrow to see if they can email me pictures and see what it comes with
or i can get my brother to go and look at it and take pictures
Get with LKQ they will deliver you an lq4 cheap. You can trust an engine from them. They will warranty it. This Oscar dude is a damn lier.
He seems hell bent on a 5.3

For about $2000 you should be able to find a decent mileage LQ9 complete.
5.3- 295hp/310tqQuote:

Where can you find a LQ9 for $2000? Name and Phone number? Any problems bolting this to a 5 Speed?
PM DBTBSS and he can give you the name and phone number. HiwayAuto in Brownwood, I think, Texas is another. Tell them you're from LS1Truck for best pricing. As for bolting it to a 5 speed, depends on what the 5 speed is out of. There's a place there in TN that has some good prices, too. Tennessee Auto Salvage or something like that. I've dealt with them in the past and they've got some good prices, or at least did when I bought from them. They sell on Ebay, too.
You can also try this place out: Thousands of auto parts, late model cars and trucks at Certified Auto Recycling .
It is in Ardmore Al. I don't know how far you are from them. Sorry forgot to quote, this info is for Old Nash.
The truck is a 1992 Chev with 350 engine and factory 5 speed and 3:08 rear.
I will check out the sites. Located on Va/Tn line with a little 1/2 mile racetrack nearby.
The NVG3500 5-speed in that thing won't like a bolted LQ9 for long.
Thanks for all the replies. I know the factory 5 speed is junk and plan to change to T56 or Tremec and the shifter mounts farther back. I would like to see a picture of inside of cab with T56/Tremec installed if someone has one.
this is in my 98 chevy SBRC c-1500 with a 99-02 style console with the shifted mounted at the rear of the t-56 they make a relocator kit but i wanted really quick tight shifts, and they are just that. it feels like im shifting a car.... i cut a new hole probably 8 inches or so behind the stock one. and just riveted and siliconed a plate over the stock hole. works AWESOME hope this helpsQuote:

That is what I wanted to see. I will have to go to bucket seats. I see some
changed to later model interior.What did the t56 come from?
its out of a 2002 camaro z-28. MAKE SURE you get one off an ls1 or the bell housing will not work.Quote:
