    Good place to get a 5.3?

    So I'm saving up for a motor right now...I actually have enough to do the 5.3 swap BUT if I were to do it then now then I won't have any money for food

    Whats a respectable place I could get a 5.3 for cheap? Looking for less than 80,000 miles and around the Houston area is prefered but I wouldn't mind a trip down to San Anton if the price is good enough.

    I am actually in southern ok but I buy nearly everything from Dallas Craigslist. I'm sure houstons is just as good but its not uncommon to see a complete around 100k mile 5.3 for around 400 bucks if your patient. Good luck with the search
