I bought a rolled over Tahoe chassis from a body shop for $300. sold the trans, rear end, frame and my 4.3l. the swap actually paid me
also look for express vans 3500 that have 6.0l and 4l80.

Hmmm, were do you find wrecked vehicles like the salvage yards get? Insurance companies?
you don't even want to hear about the deals i got on both my 02 LS1's. both were complete, motor, trans, harnesses, & ECU's. one had 45k & the other 35K. just have to be in the right place at the right time.
first one i bought, the guy was swapping it into a mustang. by time i pulled everything & sold the mustang i'm into the motor/trans $300. the second was from 2 guys wanting to swap it into a 240. my friend & i went to look at the 240 for him & the guy who's grandmothers house it was all at said they had a chevy small block that his grandmother wanted out the garage. needless to say it was a complete LS1 & i picked that one up for $600, sold the 4l60e for $600 so i basically got the second motor for free.
.... I feel as if I live in a different country then every one here, guess I'm gonna have to whell'n deal with a salvage yard or something.

I got a disassembled longblock for $100 And able to get everything else (LS7 valvetrain, front drive accessories, computer, rings, bearings, etc...) for about $550.
I picked up my first '04 5.3 off Ebay for $350 shipped because the seller messed up and had to honor free shipping. Got an '02 LQ4 for $100 with a spun rod or crank bearing...haven't opened it up yet. Picked up a '00 LQ4 with iron heads for $500 and it's in my C10 now and lastly an '03 5.3 for $300 from the moultrie, GA junkyard.
