I’m swapping in a turbo’Ed lq4 6.0 liter out of a 2001 pickup. Bought the entire pickup for 1800 and sold maybe 1000 of parts from it. I’m going much further than what is necessary (especially because of turbos, I.e; injectors, fuel delivery system, intercooler, exhaust manifolds, etc) but that put the engine at around 800 if I don’t sell anymore parts. I put 1000 of gaskets, seals, rings etc (but again this was overboard as none of it was actually necessary). These engines are supposed to be damn near bulletproof. I got the trans and all associated parts as well. Just throwing it out there as a very viable option. Few swap adapters and you might be into the whole thing for 1000 bucks.
