craigslist score
 

so ive had an add on craigslist for a while on an ls style engine and trans.
last week while i was at the hospital welcoming my new cousin into the world. a guy calls me and says hes got a 5.3 and an 4l60e trans from a 2000 2wd truck. with the computer and wiring harness plus extras.

so i set up a time to go an look at this motor and transmission.
and that time was today at about 6pm and i think i came out good.

i got a 2000 5.3 block and 4l60e tranny harness computer half of a cut harness. the 5.3 has 862 heads on it the seller pulled a head while i was there. bore looks ok he said could use a hone i will prob take to the shop.
and have it checked out by a machen shop have a hone done. i got the compressor for the ac water pump and power stering pump and truck intake. oh an some ls to sbc mounts also

plus he tossed in a cracked 6.0 block with some 317 heads
i think i got a good score for 800 cash.

im going back in two weeks for ls1 intake from a camaro.
plus a camaro waterpump and camaro oilpan for cheap.

i know i know pics or it didnt happen well here are a few

Quite the haul! It only gets more expensive from here...

Re: craigslist score
 

one thing i need to check on the harness and half harness is.
if the OBDII connector is there he did a swap from 5.3l o 6.0 in his 2000.
im betting he used his one under the dash.
im sure it wont be a big problem i seem the pigtail on amazon.
or i could get one from wrecking yard maybe

nice score, pretty good haul id say. but save ur cash on the ls1 intake and get an ls6 intake instead, unless the ls1 is a complete steal.

Re: craigslist score
 

TheOBD connector isn't part of the engine harness, its part of the under dash harness. Just grab one at the junk yard.

Re: craigslist score
 

Ok, I gotta ask, is the tranny painted pink, or is it the red clay/dirt that Texas is made of?
