lq4 swap help

[Custombrew]

I am looking into doing a 6.0 swap into my 99 sierra. The motor is from an 03 denali, it is an lq4 with 136xxx miles. I would be getting the motor, motor mounts, TAC module, pedals, wiring harness, and maybe a few odds and ends. What do you think would be a fair price for all of this?
Also if there is anything else that I would need to do this please tell.Thanks in advance

IMO $900-$1300 try and get as much as you can. The little things will add up extremely fast.

will everything from my 4.3 swap over? like starter, and alternator?

I think the alt of that year will work.. I know it will bolt on. But you might want one with more power. The power steering will work, and the AC with a modified s10 bracket can work. I dont know about the starter.
If you get a SD tune, or want a relocated IAT sensor, you can use the one from it too. Thats how My 4.3/6.0 swap is going anyhow.
Mine is a 97 v6 though. Im kinda sure the v6 stayed about the same. Basically a short cut sb.

Also like I said Above. If you can buy a fully complete motor for $1500 or a kinda complet motor for $1000 Get the fully complete one. You will spend more than $500 on the difference. Believe me I know.

I talked to the guy and he said that he will leave everything bolted to the motor. So i do not have to worry about any of my things swapping over, I think were going to try for around $1100, but if i need a few more things he said around $1300. Going to try to get as many parts as possible from the guy.

Smart decision.

Hey I hope I'm nit thread jacking but could you elaborate on the modified s10 ac bracket? Does it allow you to mount your ac up high? If so, how do you do it? That s&p kit is expensive!
Thanks

That looks like it would work well.....I wonder if the s10 bracket is any simpler?
