Do it, the 5.3's are pretty cheap unless you want one with less than 10K miles or something. I lucked out, mine was supposed to be an 07, but when I got it it said 2005, I called LKQ and *****ed, they refunded me $200, so the motor cost me $450.00 and it had 9K miles on it ( no one wants a 4.8 I guess) I have the 4l60e trans also and it runs and drives soooo nice. Knowing what I know now, I wish I would have done a few things different but I was really tight on my budget and I was only able to work on it every other weekend and some nights. it took me 7 months to finish.

I would do it again and again, if you decide, let me know, i would be glad to help in anyway I could.
