I paid just at core for the engine and trans so I'm not so worried about it being 4.8 and not a 5.3, I have to rebuild it and scrounged 5.3 parts. I got a 10/10 crank for $55, some flat tops for an 05 for $160 and a set of new rods for $200, new cam for $70 and lifters for $90. So far I'm ahead on the rebuild.
