I have about $3000 in the 5.3 and 4l60e swap doing most of the work myself.

$1000 for engine and transmission
$500 for help with stuff I couldn’t figure out.
$1900 for random other stuff
-$400 sold old transmission and engine

I’m happy with it. The swap was more of a pain than I expected, but it runs great. Loads of power. So far I’ve been using as a work truck and have about 2700 miles on it. Consistent 16.5 mpg on first tune. Second tune looks to be getting 19.2 mpg. Only one tank so far on new tune, but hopefully I can keep getting those numbers.
