LS Swap engine, is this one OK?

I have access to a 2018 5.3 all aluminum engine, out of a Chevy truck with 355 hp and a 6L80E transmission.

Does anyone see any problem with this particular LS? I have all the wiring, accessories, computers etc .

I'm just looking for a good cruiser for my 71C10, not worried about high horse power like an LS3 or higher.

Was the engine from a flood area?

Do you want to share your info on the seller, do they have any more engines!

Re: LS Swap engine, is this one OK?

The 2018 5.3 isn’t an LS anyway, it’s an LT and takes dedication and some deep pockets to get going. Not impossible but you have to stick with it.

The 2014 LS3 6L80E I bought was from thepartsfarm.com in Lyons, Ga. They specialize in Drivetrain swaps.
