Dude you can buy a complete 5.3 with pcm and low miles from hi-way auto and have money left over for a cam and a tune from Allen.Hes familiar with the swaps. You would be surprised how good a 5.3 runs and better mileage than the 350....Just my Check out the swap section

ACTUALLY theres basically a TURN KEY motor ready to go right now... check out TxSilverado he has a really nice 5.3 for sale and i know its a steal at the price he is selling it... check in the for sale section ... he has dropped teh price all the way to 900 right now.... i would snag that up if i was you

That engine is at 700, unless someone at chevy truck world bought it. Personally man swap a newer engine in like stated above or install a 350 HO instead if you have the money. Not too much more money but a lot more horsepower. Just my 2 cents

[TxStVanWilder]

DAMN 700???? i could have afforded 700 last week ... that sseriously one hell of a deal for someone....

1993 chevy, I would def look for a genIII motor. You can find it alot cheaper, than something from jegs.

i already have a 4.8 that i was planing to swap but that will cost 3,000 to install, and i thing it will cost me about 2,000 for the 260hp 350 which is just a little hard to turn down pluse that 350 has 350 pound feet of torque. i would have gotten a 5.3 but that would have cost me more money. thanks for the advice and keep it comeing. maybe someone can help me make the 4.8 a cheaper swap since i don&#39;t think i can get 1,000 out of it which is what i paid. please keep the advice comeing everyone.

How will it cost you 3 grand to install it? Plus, that engine from Jegs won&#39;t work with your stock intake, as it doesn&#39;t have center bolt heads...

A 6.0 is more effitient than the 350 and have more torque if that is what your worried about. Hav eyou ocnsidered a 6.0L swap?

if i go the truck ls1 i will just use the 4.8 i have and then latter get a 408 block to replace the 4.8 block. right now i just need power and good mileage. i already know that the 6.0 doesn&#39;t get great mileage, my grandpa&#39;s truck never gets better than 16 on the highway. even my 350 could pull that kind of mileage, not as much power but still. the 4.8 gets 18-22 mpg on the highway. but if anyone has any more suggestions keep them coming, i really do appreciate all the impute and advice, since i still haven&#39;t made any set decisions, if anyone has a suggestion on another engine to use you may be able to change my mind.
