How much did you pay for your 5.3/4l60e?

I am currently shopping around to various pick-a-parts and pull out companies.

I want to stick with a company that offers a "ready to run" motor, complete with modified harness and reflashed/standalone computer. This limits me, but I've gotten quotes ranging from $3000 to $4800 for a motor and trans combo (<75k miles). Is the number worth negotiating? The best quote was from pacific Fab (3k), but their motors were higher mileage than others. I have heard from a few sources that these motors are good for 300k on average, but that sounds a bit lofty to me.

They also quoted me $1500 for a complete fuel system (stainless Blazer tank, Delco in tank pump, regulator, AN braided lines, etc). My biggest "grey area" with the project is fuel supply, but this seems very high to me.

Did you do the work yourself, or go this route? Either way, what did you pay for the motor and trans? I've read the cost FAQ, but im just trying to get ball park numbers. I want this project to be as headache free as possible, so I realize I'll pay a bit more.

Thank you!
