$200 lr4 & $400 lm7

So this week i looked on craigslists here in Houston and saw this 4.8l complete intake to oil pan and everything in between for 200. So i called the guy and he said it was just a swap for a bigger motor and there was nothing wrong w it and if i got there before some other guy that was coming to look at it a noon i could take it. So i just couldn't pass it up. Then there was this 5.3l I've been looking at for a little while for 400 but it was bare long block guaranteed to run, so i figured hell its always good to have a spare motor. So i just need an ls t56 and i can start another swap, but in my 91z this summer.

5.3l

4.8l

Way to score!

I considered doing something very similar, but with a bare block & crank that I had a line on, but wound up getting a complete engine instead... Like I said, good finds!
