I have an 03 1500 Quad Cab, 4 X 4 with a 4.7. Its got 240k on it now. I've always wanted to rebuild a complete engine (kinda wish I'd done it years ago when I was running Chevy 350's all the time). But I never did & clocks ticking. My truck runs great & is a daily driver. I have it hot oil undercoated for years now, pretty good shape. So my plan is to build a motor, just stock, & hopefully the engine that is in the truck will last. I have about $250 a month to throw at this. All I have now is an engine stand. Would like to hear some opinions on where I should start to look for motor. Junkyard, Craigslist, maybe buy complete junk truck with good motor, pull myself etc.
I know this thread will be slow going but I hope it gets some attention. I mean I'm very mechanically inclined, have swapped motors before, 3 tree tripod lol, but I'd love to get allot of advice & opinions here. I have about $500 right now (cause I got engine stand) & in a couple weeks back up to $750 & so on & so on.
Where would you get/look for an engine??
Thanks in advance. Have a good day!
