Re: Is this a good deal
I gave only a little more than that for my 2013 LS3/tr6060....but from what ive been seeing...the zip codes make the prices vary all over the chart...

Re: Is this a good deal
another price factor to consider is what comes with it?
brackets, accessories, harness[es], ecm/tcm, etc.. late model, low mileage would seem attractive to me.. what trans? good luck! eta; your other thread responses nailed it.. http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=772634

Re: Is this a good deal
That is an LT L83/6l80, totally different animal than an LSx swap. Will cost more to put in and get running, but there is more hp and torque than an LS 5.3.
I think $4200 is high, but that is me, in my area, the same would be about $1500 less or so. Little more mileage but...24k https://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/pt...695586994.html

Re: Is this a good deal
.
For some perspective, I just spent more than the 3k price of the 24k LT engine+6l80 in parts alone for a retrofit roller cam, iron head refresh, headers, rad w/fans update on my BBC. -klb
