Re: Ballpark cost?

Thats a loaded question but if you went and got a 5.3 with the 4L60 for say, $1000...you'd still have another grand to spend getting the harness reworked or replacing it along with a tune, fuel system upgrades, exhaust...


how about a wild guess of $2700...which could be high or low depending on your situation. I'm at double that or more (new 6.0L LY6 crate motor, etc) and haven't even turned the key yet.
