Dont see what all the fuss is about buying a while truck for just the drivetrain unless it's stupid cheap and you have room to store a chassis to sell or scrap.. motor transmission, ecu and accessories if it fits the chassis.. harness meh.. best to buy a new harness from painless or make/have made a harness for the application..your wanting LS for reliability and you wiggle in 14yr old harness to fit..
what adds up is the odds and ends like driveshaft. Fuel lines, trans line, cooling, exhaust, and pretty much that it.. most of those cant be sourced from the donor... maybe interior upgrades??

Plus the kits I've see and rework are also mediocre... dont even run fan wires. just chops off unused sections vs de pinning ang plugging the ecu connector and to top of that they use a 13$ Ebay non water proof fuse box..
