guess i'll start playing phone roulette monday and see what i can find, just trying to avoid the damn expensive shipping on an engine.
Junkyard
95 C1500 LM7, built 4L60e, Circle D 3200, LT's, Nelson tune, open differential, 3.42, and LS1 e-fans. Tractionless
I got my LQ4 from "justchevytrucks.com" They are out of Maine,but the shipping costs aren't bad. Got the motor with a stand alone harness for my 86 K10. They have videos of the engine running in the truck it came out of
04 Z-71 ECSB, Leveling Kit, DC Mud Country 33'', JBA Shorties & Super 40 Flowmaster, PPI, JL Audio & Alpine audio with I-pod
check ebay. I had a buddy buy a few motors from a guy in Georgia. Shipping was fairly cheap as well and he stood behind the motors. He got a few low mileage LY6 motors for 2k or so each.
If you buy it get everything they will give you including every bolt they remove, ask they don't cut any wires, hose or belts and give them all to you. For that price they should not cut anything and you should get every nut, bolt and wire they remove to get the engine and transmission out.

American pickup salvage In north east Arkansas . 870-236-8392 ask for Will . He sells on ebay also . He takes good care to see nothin you will need gets cut . He ships in a sealed crate and the stuff is top notch . I gave 2150.00 610000 miles(2003 5.3 with 4l60e) with paperwork shipped to my shop back in the spring . i'm in east ky I got it all from the ac pump ,alt,ps pump to the air filter and fuse box .
From txsilverado on pt.net
just picked it up today, she said they did a run test before they yanked it to make sure everything still worked, the only thing they cut were the radiator hoses that i can see, i'll look more tomorrow. only thing missing was the trans dustshield and the MAF but she said if i was missing anything to call and get her to get them for me. my poor truck was riding on the stops on the way home lol, engine + Trans + engine lift and stand haha
It seems the majority here are buying pull outs from salvage yards. Did everyone have the engine rebuilt? If so what did that cost you? If I do decide to go with a 6.0 swap the most logical choice to me is to buy a reman long block off ebay. Theres a company on there right now selling them for $2600. If everything from my 5.3 swaps over then thats all the cash I'm out. A few places here locally quoted almost $2200 just in labor to rebuild an engine, not including parts.
me personally... i'm going to put a new cam + timing components in the engine upgrade the springs, rebuild the tranny with a performance kit and let it ride
