The shop building my truck is now selling that motor since I won't be using it - it doesn't have the ECM, pedal assembly or MAF sensor however (does have the wiring harness though).
I went with the LY6 due to the better head design over the older engines as well as the advantage of the VVT feature. Any of the truck motors are great though! Pace Performance has a 4.8L carbed LS motor that's complete from carb-to-pan for $3k which is a pretty good deal - especially for a light 1/2-ton truck!

That's not a bad price at all, but the truck racing scene is HUGE down here like you wouldn't believe. I wouldn't be able to do much damage, I need at least a 5.3.
That engine you have sounds like a straight up beast! I'm mainly worried about the wiring aspect of the swap, I'm borderline retarded with wiring
