Re: Engine selection

I think for the money the best route is wrecking yard.

If you are patient you chould be able to locate a good 6.0 with low(ish) miles. The biggest concern to me is the computer, wiring, and transmission.

because of this i am going the carborated route, eldebrock intake, carb, and MSD ignition box. this will cost me less than $1,200 out of pocket. I am using my 700r4, and existing carb.

I was able to score a 5.3 with 11k miles on it for $450 at a local wrecker. the intake and ignition box will come from summit or another similar online supplier.

bottom line, keep your eyes peeled and something will come along within your budget.
