There are a bunch of places on ebay selling complete setups. Location will be an issue on a lot of them though. There are quite a few places here in the northeast that sell complete.

Sit on craigslist and just wait. Be willing to drive 100 miles and learn how to use craigslist (type anything related 'chevy Chevrolet gmc truck engine motor vortec ls1 Cadillac ss...') that's how I got mine and it was complete!

Re: Best place to purchase 5.3 ls?
I more than likely will go thru these guys: http://www.spaldings.com/ as you can buy it anyway you want it and best of all you can pick it up at their shop. LKQ and Gundies charge a hefty price for the motors plus a big fee for shipping.
I also look on www.car-part.com the only place I havent looked yet is Halls Wrecking yard here in Issaquah.

Re: Best place to purchase 5.3 ls?
car-part.com is a great resource to find this stuff. You can look there for components, then contact the yard to see if they offer a full swap or pullout. Most will be happy to help if they offer those things.

Re: Best place to purchase 5.3 ls?
^^^ that is a bit pricey. Ebay is cheapest but the shipping will hurt you. Car-part.com is great. I found mine on Craigslist. There is a facebook group that has LSx stuff for sale as well.
