But wiring harness and ecu are included for 450$cash, he also has an 8.1lt that has a trans for 700. So what's better? Also I am paying 70$ a week in gas like flaming. And I can't afford it. But I could get this engine

Not a bad deal. I hear that the 8.1L has a bad rep of piston slap and really sucks the gas. I would stick with the 5.3L or look for a 6.0L if you want more power. Just my .02.
