I have a little shop truck that is a 1971 C-10 and it's finally time for a transplant and I am looking to swap in an LS engine. Wanting to go with a 5.3L/4L60E or 6.0L/4L80E combo out of a late model truck or SUV complete with harness, accessories, ECM, Throttle pedal, etc......

Anybody found a good source for these?


Thanks in advance! Any advice will help.

He has a constant rotating stock. If you search his username you'll see lots of really happy people...

^Daytonayellaz will cherry pick you a top notch setup.

Or you can roll the dice with:

Ive bought MANY engines and transmissions through them, and its a real crapshoot what you get, but its always affordable. You can cut the advertised prices on the site in half if you find someone with a commercial account with them.

I'll second Daytonayellaz. SicMonte and I went to pick up a complete L92/6L80E from him. Was complete and just as he described, and so far working well for me. If you can make it out to Indiana to pick it up, it's also a fun road trip with a pal.
