Re: Ok, who's done the cheapest LSx swap?
We bought 12 5.3's this year from the same local wrecking yard for $300 each. The swap I am almost done with in my 69 C-10 will end up right around $1000 total when done. Quick breakdown:
5.3 $300
Car Harness $150
Ecm $35
Car intake/ rails $100
external pump $130
filter/ reg $50
manifold flanges $50
exhaust bends $50
misc $100
I have never done a swap this cheaply, I usually spend a lot more making it nice, but this needed to be extremely low budget. I used stock 5.3 manifolds, with light frame clearancing, built the exhaust, I modify my own harnesses and do my own computer work. The entire drivetrain swap with a FRESH TH400 ran about $1500 total.
