[motiv8er]

i have an 01 silverado 5.3 auto and my buddy has an ls1 out of an 04 vette that has been sitting for about 6 months the motor was going to go in a 74 nova. my friends wants me to put the ls1 with a t56 in my truck(so the motor is used)...what am i looking at as far as costs?
thanks in advance

Are you serious??? Don't even wast the time/money or effort to do it if you are just going to borrow it..

Yeah cuz once it goes in, you will want to add more power to it and keep it.

lol i appreciate the concern, but i wont keep it....while the 5.3 is out im gonna build it or im gonna punch it out to ls1/ls6 specs and turbo it, im gonna run a t56 anyways so whatever work i do that pertains to the tranny such as getting a new cross member....any info on the cost for running an ls1/ t56?

Hey that sounds like a good plan! Im lookin for a low mileage 5.3 to cam out and put some good heads on.
