I was just gonna say I found the escalade 6.2 for 5300 on pace performance. Not too bad of pricing. Does that come with everything needed to hook up to my truck?

 

[soulsea]

I have no idea, I know almost nothing about engines.

It's just a coincidence cause I just read that these just got released after I saw this thread.

I'll say it again.. Performancetrucks.net. Those guys are a huge wealth of LSX knowledge. Try em out!

One of my buddies is a pretty big GM gear head. Hangs out on there a bit. I'll have to get his opinion.

My buddy bought a basically brand new 5.3 ( I think it had about 3,000 miles on it) for either $1000 or 1,500.

Im also interested in the swap since my 5.3 has 90k on it and if I come across a good deal on a 6.2 I would debate doing it..

 

[2010_5thgen]

1500 isn't bad I guess. If I can pick up a low mileage 6.2 for 3500... Yeah I'll sell it for 1500

There's a low mileage 6.2 on performancetrucks.net for $3400 as we speak. Do it.

Do you have a link

I hope you aren't implying that 90k miles is nearing the end of its useful life.

I think a supercharger would be easier.

 

[2010_5thgen]

Have youeverinstalled a supercharger? I'll bet pulling out the motor and dropping a new one in would be quicker than installing a supercharger

 

[totheyard]

Nope. But I have done a couple motor swaps. A blower, intake, pulley and tune sounds better!

 

[2010_5thgen]

Hmmm 7k for a blower or 6k for a new 6.2 with a warranty..... Believe me, I've thought about a blower but it's not as reliable and just more money and more maintenance.

Do you have a link

yes, and it was my error. It's $3,000+shipping

[2010_5thgen]

Good deal. Just not low enough miles for me. If I'm going used, I'd like the same or less miles than I have now. I have 15k now.

 

[Juniorss]

Not at all.. Just trying to justify possibly doing a swap

 

[totheyard]

You are worried about money after spending big money on a new truck and want to rip out a motor with 15 on it?
