Right now I'm about $100 into the 5.3L I have in my truck, after selling off and scrapping the donor truck. Still have some less popular parts left so I will likely be ahead at some point.

How long did it take you to pull the engine and trans. from the truck?

not long really. I stripped the whole truck in about a week, working after work for 4 hours a day. It's really easy once you take the front end off.
