    Need a new motor....

    gonna be hard to find a 12+ year old 5.3 with lower miles...since you recently did your heads anyways I think going with the shortblock would be a good way to go...or you could always look for an LS1, they would be much easier to find lower mileage out of a C5 but they will cost a premium...

    What is a 5.3L worth if it’s bad???

    best bet would be parting it out, intake/TB would be ~$200, Heads ~$300, Shortblock ~$300 (assuming all parts are good), trying to sell the motor with bad lifters will get a lot of lowball offers...if not interested in parting out the "bad" 5.3 is prob worth $250-$300 by itself
