Re: LSx Swap cost FAQ
I estimated the swap to run $3k and I'll probably come in a grand or more over that, due to impatience and some upgrades to my original plan.
I hoped to find a complete donor vehicle, but the 99-03 trucks are really popular work rigs for small business owners around here so the used parts market is very competitive. I decided to pop on this motor I could verify compression and oil condition on. Fingers still crossed on that one.
900 for an L59 with all accessories, intake and harness
100 for core trans
850+core trans for a proper rebuild 4L60e
330 for a spectra efi tank
75 to replace bullsh*t spectra pump
75 for brendan to flash vats/emissions out
30 for wiring harness parts & supplies (relays, fuse blocks, obdii port)
300 roughly for AN fittings, hose, filter and hard line for fuel system
2660 is where I'm at so far.
still needed: headers, mounts, radiator as the big ticket items at around 800-1000
and probably another 1000 in incidentals, last minute express shipping of parts etc...
one thing I will add is that my amazon prime account has saved me probably $500 so far. Not just fast free shipping, but crazy deals on simple stuff like gaskets, wire, grade 10.9 bolts etc...
