spankis Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 How much do 5.3 truck motors go for these days? Shortblock and Longblocks both I guess. My dad's 5.3 suburban still runs decently but has a full life of towing under it's belt, so I'm wondering what it would take should something let go.
