Well, I realize it's been a while, but I've basically just been parts collecting for the swap. Below is a spreadsheet of what I've picked up so far and the actual cost. I'm sure there are better deals to be had, but this is what I've come up with. I can probably provide part number data too if that's something you guys would like to see. I had some issues with the 5.3 block. The middle cam bearing was spun so I had to install new cam bearings. Let me know if you have any questions. I hope to get started pulling the motor this weekend and will hopefully be able to provide pictures of how that is progressing. I'm sure I'll have to add more to the costs, but thought I'd throw in an update for you guys to let me know how it's going.
I included the 6.0 motor build as well, so I may remove those since it will be for a future build to go in Skylark I'm trying to source.
