For a 6.0 with a trans, I wouldn't spend more than $2-2500 if its really complete. Truthfully, I wouldn't get super hung up on the harness either unless your gonna do that part yourself. No reason to pay a premium for something thats gotta get ripped apart anyway.

If you have specific plans like a built trans or anything, then consider that when buying your parts.

For reference, I payed under $800 for a 6.0 with under 60k, complete pan to intake (tho I was missing the power steering bracket which they normally would include, but I didn't catch it at first). I only payed $300 for a 4l80e, which I could have kept stock but then stuck like $1500+ and then a converter into.

Too many shops are offering "great deals" on "complete" swaps which are just pullouts...and want $3500+...and they STILL need tuning and fuel system and all that jazz.
