A friend had this LS in his garage and I bought it with the intent of putting it in one of two vehicles (still thinking about that '63 Pontiac). This is an '02 Firebird 5.7, with the 4L60E, and 40,000 miles. It came with the wiring harness, computer, a set of motor mounts, new plugs, the harness had a couple of ends replaced. I think I also have a set of factory exhaust manifolds. Can't decide what to do with it now!

I ended up with a different truck. Current truck power is in the form of a 5.3 with a 4L60E, cam and head work, around 400 hp. Runs nice!

I just reread my post, duh! Must have been thinking about my Silverado when I said it's "an '02 Firebird 6.0...." Since it came from a Firebird it is 1) a 5.7 and 2) it's an aluminum motor. Sometimes my brain and my hands don't coordinate when I type. Anyway, the problem with these motors is they come at a higher price than the 4.8 and 5.3 versions. I'll PM you and we can talk a little about this motor, trans, and miscellaneous parts.

Been a while since I was in Oklahoma. I lived in the garden spot of Oklahoma (Altus) for 6 1/2 years! lol We would have to talk about delivery options.

Re: project 62

Well the lead on the 5.3 didnt end up working but a friends truck that i painted a few months back got T boned and still runs, all maintenance kept up but its a '94 and older than i was really wanting but everything is there so if i can get it cheap enough it might just be the power plant for this dude. With fuel costs being stupid and for the ok mileage that the 88-98's get i can live with that, plus they are fairly cheap to work on. So thats my toss up

I think I would look for the missing parts on the 5.3 and go that route. IMO
