Is this a good deal?
A 2003 5.3l pullout with 4l65E trans, wiring harness and computer for 700.00
It's missing a couple of coil packs and the transmission is for a 4 wheel drive. The man bought it to put in a street rod but never did. It has set in his garage for 4 years and he has never heard it run. Supposly only has 35000 miles.Is this a good price? I would like to put it in a 68 c10 2wheel drive. What do you think? |

Re: Is this a good deal?
Sounds like a very fair deal. I'm not sure about the tranny and the four wheel drive issue. It would be a good amount of work to put into our trucks unless you're already an accomplished mechanic.

Re: Is this a good deal?
Since it's been sitting for so long is that hard on the engine? What would it cost to convert the trans to a 2 wheel drive? Anything else to look for when I
go look at it? |

I would sell that tranny and find a 2wd 4L60E. The 2wd tailshaft extensions are spendy.
Sounds like a good deal to me. FYI, find some used stock coil packs for cheap. The MSD ones are $$$ and offer no gains over the stockers. |

Re: Is this a good deal?
See if you can pull the vin out of the computer prior to buying and run it through Carfax. I bought a 2003 5.3 w/ 4l60E 60,000 miles for $750. Carfax told me it was a 2000, 4.8 225,000 miles and from a stolen truck. Because your right at core price I would take a chance.

Re: Is this a good deal?
Can you tell a 5.3 from a 4.8 just by looking at it? Is the vin printed on the engine or the computer that I can write it down? Probably will go look at it this weekend and i want to be prepared. Thanks for all the help you guys have given me
