> Most expensive parts are going to be shell and T56. You can get a 5.3 LSx motor for $200-500 and a 6.0 for $600-900. You need an F-body oil pan/windage tray/oil pickup tube or have someone modify the stock pan (perhaps KrazyKid). Wiring harness and ECM, get ANY LSx harness and I can help you re-pin and modify it to fit. You’ll also want a car style intake manifold to clear the hood.

Lol if you find a 6.0 that cheap let me know because I usually find them around 2k
