Looking to do a 5.3 ls motor swap, best place to buy a ready to drop in package?
I'm gonna do a ls motor swap and am curious if anybody has a ready to drop in package low mileage 5.3 and 4l60e transmission, I don't really have the time to search for all the components needed for the swap, I'd like to find a place that has one ready to bolt in, wiring harness, etc.... I'm gonna be putting in a porterbuilt extreme dropmember with ls mounts so won't need motor mounts. If anybody knows of any places they recommend let me know.
Thanks in advance! I'm sure I could piece it together cheaper but I work all the time and would rather have a one stop shop if ya know what I mean. Also who makes a good aluminum tank that mounts in the rear frame rails with a top fill? My buddy and I will be doing everything, so I'm not looking for a shop to to the work! Just want all the pieces before I start!

as for a drop in ready motor thats not new, im at a lose. You can buy new turnkey motors all day long, but they are spendy. As for a tank, boyd welding is the only choice in my opinion. Just did one with my LS swap, and couldn't be happier. Good luck with everything

You live in Texas so finding a wrecked Chevy truck you can take the whole smash out of won't be that hard, just look around you will find one with low mileage.

BD turnkey out of reno Nevada has some great information and a great reputation. But he does not sell transmissions. But he will have it set up for whatever transmission you want to use which should be easily acquired.
His stuff is a little more money but it's basically plug and play no wiring to sort through it's all ready to go |

I got my fuel delivery stuff from Turnkey, the stuff they sell is top notch.
I too would consider our vendors first. Good luck!
