I've been getting parts together for my 5.3 swap. I'm planning on selling the motor & harness etc. How much should I expect or try to sell it for? It has a few minor leaks on some rear seals, the DME needs to be fixed (I found rebuilt units for $350 online w/core exch), prob good idea to do water pump etc while it's out, etc... I want to be fair but don't want to short change myself either.

How many miles, what leakdown, does it run, etc...
Where are you?

Sorry for the slow response. 159k, it does run but the computers need to be fixed. The compression and leak down tests should be done today. I'm in Birmingham, AL.

For someone looking to turbo an n/a, if you're including all turbo parts( turbo, intercooler, intake peices, exhaust, etc.) 1k at the most. 156k miles isn't a huge amount on these motors if well maintained, but its not exceptionally low either.

My. 02 cents

I'm going to be selling the motor, turbo, accessories, & wiring harness... Compression test was 160-170 across the board.

I'd hazard a guess of $500 to $1k.

What is your time frame to remove the engine. I have an open time line for a replacement engine. I am going from n/a to turbo, so I will need all the pieces, except the intercooler.

I am in Atlanta and can pickup the engine.
