What is it worth spending to get a 6.0 instead? I saw one for $750 fully dressed. Seems like it would be worth the extra $150?

$150 extra for a 6.0 is definitely a deal. Everything you can do to a 5.3 like a cam, springs, heads, etc. will give you bigger gains on the 6.0.
If the 6.0 is just as complete that's a pretty good deal. Buy the most complete engine you can and just get it running is the key to swaps and not losing motivation.
Heard. I had to travel for the weekend, hopefully he still has it when I get back to town.
okay dumb question: if a truck got hit hard enough in the front to break the balancer, and crack the timing cover: is there a risk that the crank is damaged? or can i replace the balancer/cover and run it?

I wouldn't chance it. But that's just me. YMMV.
In reply to budget_bandit :
I'd buy an engine like that for $150-200 tops as a spare but not as my primary swap engine.
heard. not worth the risk. appreciate the input
Is there a good way to flash a tune on the stock computer without HP Tuners?
In reply to budget_bandit :
What are you trying to change on the pcm? Universal patcher is great for VATS delete and a couple other simple things. PCM Hammer/LS Droid can go pretty far with tuner studio and the right XDF files.
I was thinking about using a premade tune for a cam and also a VATS delete

Do some googling and reading on PCM Hammer and tuner studio.
