A 6.0L with a 4L80e is hard to beat for that budget range. Should be around 1-1.2k for a running 6.0L and another 1k for a good 4l80e. Nearly bulletproof combination and the truck would have a higher resale value then a 5.3L / 4L60e combo if you ever need to sell it.
They're fine, but the 2005+ LH6's come with 799 heads, which can be better. Really it depends on the application, turbo's don't care and 706 is fine if it's got a wuhan war whistle, but for a high reving N/A cammed engine the 799's flow better on the top end.
Forgot to mention: These are 24x reluctor engines which is why they use a P59/P01 PCM. 2005+ Trailblazer 5.3's are 58x and need the Gen 4 PCM's.
Great engines, have a few stashed @ work.
Right on
Great deal
I wish they were that cheap here.
I have a 69 C10 Chevrolet truck. All things considered what engine/transmission would you recommend with a $3500 ceiling. 6.0?

Do you know the RPO code on this engine? Or maybe what VIN engine code would indicate it's aluminum. Thanks
706 heads not ideal?
