Found a motor

[RocketKing]

Thanks to the good Lord I think I found a motor for my '67, 6.0 with 4L80e, actually I found a little more than that.

2004 2500 Suburban w/ 89,000 on the clock. I paid $1000.00 for the whole rig minus the interior. I am going to use the motor, tranny, computers and wiring harness along with the pedals, etc. I will keep you guys informed...

This will be my first time for a LSx swap, I am looking forward to reading the posts of the ones who have already tackled this..

Daaaang, nice deal!

I would also look at the rear axle. I bet it has a 373 or better being a 3/4 ton.

When I was loading it on the trailer a guys walks up and wants to know what my plans were with it, I tell him all I am after is the engine, tranny, comp. etc.

He says "I will give you $200 for the grill and headlights"...

I say " Mister you got a deal" He hops on the trailer and pulls 'em off right there.

Awesome deal! Where did you run onto a deal like that? I was thinking about trying to find a wrecked truck and doing the same thing, just don't really know where to start looking.

A local radio station advertised just the motor and transmission for $1000.00. He also had it listed on craigslist.

I called him up and after we talked awhile, he offered the whole vechicle for $1500 (which I did not have) so I called him back and offered $1000 for the whole vechicle and he keep the interior.

He accepted the offer and we were both happy.

I guess the best advice I can give is keep an eye on your local papers and absolutely keep an eye on craigslist...seems to be some good deals that go through it.

Hope that helps.

Man that's a great deal, congrats! Are you going to start a build thread or just post in this one? I will be watching, I want to do a 6.0 swap sometime down the road, I just have to find a deal like you did. Headed to craigslist now!

I intend to start a build thread as soon as I can come up with a decent project name

Every time I find one I like someone else already has it...oh well.

Good hunting on that engine, I know it will show up. Since you are relatively close, if I come across anything I will be sure and keep you in mind.
