For the benefits involved, I'd figure out the wiring and additional components required somehow. No cam to buy. No converter to buy. No intake manifold to buy. Heck, with this motor up front, I might even leave the 3.08 in the diff because the stock 5.3 cam wouldn't be in the way of gas mileage for cruising. This could be a win/win/win, even adding to the value of the truck when sell time rolls around. Never say never.

I dropped this guy a line and his current pick of the litter on the 5.3's is an LM7 '03 with 103k. He accepted an offer of $1500 which seems like a fair deal for the mileage/year if everything checks out. I'll need to crash the boards tonight to get myself up to speed on what to know and look for when evaluating a pulled motor like this (which I've never done before). Any coaching tips?
