2009 5.3 engine

[PatDTN]

Removed and replaced with 6.2 due in part to mistaken fault diagnosis.

Engine was running strong with 220k miles just prior to removal. I mistook loss of oil to be failed AFM and bought a replacement engine to swap in to minimize downtime. Issue turned out to be completely clogged exhaust due to catalytic converters blocking and collapsing. Didn't figure that out until the new engine was in and had problems.

Problem was that with nowhere to go exhaust pressurised the block and pushed oil into intake which exacerbated the problem by further messing up cats.

How much and where are you located?

I'm in East Tennessee near Knoxville. I'd love to get $500 but I'll entertain offers. No coil packs.

Road trip?

Road trip?

I'm spent on road trips for now. Drove to Tampa and back twice within the past few months and will be going back at the end of January. Between that, I drive al over the gulf south.

I was kinda sorta entertaining the thought of nabbing a running LMG to put back as a slow turbo build. But, I want a 6.2 first. And a built transmission. lol

I'd consider delivering but I'm not a fan of driving up north. Too many dense population areas between us.
