$25 ls motor

[Super73]

So today I went and made a dump run. Decided the metal I had i would take to the recycler. As we were dumping it (leaf springs and some frame rail) I saw what looked like a 5.3 come out of a truck and on the the ground. Complete from throttle body to oil pan, water pump, all sensors. Come to find out, I can have it for $0.20 a lb.

I got $55 for my metal and they only charged me as though it was 400lbs. $80-$55=$25

My buddy Mike and I got it home, got it on a stand and in less than 45 minutes had it completely disassembled.

It was tossed due to a broken rod. Looks like the crank is fine and the block can be cleaned up. It is only a 4.8, but the covers, head, sensors etc, recycle the block and crank at worse, still make money or have a cheap 4.8.

Good score I think.
