I got lucky on my build and found a complete 03 Sierra with a 5.3 for $500.
The best advice I can give you if you're doing a swap, is buy a complete running vehicle. You'll be shocked at how many small parts you'll need/use off of the donor vehicle. Buying just the engine, trans and computer from a wrecker IMHO is not the way to go.
