Default Prices on a 6.0

Hi guys.

I am gonna start my 6.0 swap.

What are you guys paying for a 6.0? Prices seem pretty high around here. I found a longblock lq9 for $900. Another lq4 for 1500 just for the long block. I would rather find a complete. 1400ish for a complete from a JY.

Whats ideal miles for the swap?

If I bought a long block what else would i need besides intake?

I am thinking lq9 with a small cam and stall.

Any Recommendations?

1500 was the going rate here in LA, but that was complete and talked down.

I got a 80K mile LQ4 from up north on FleeBay 1000$ shipped to me. It came with a few accessorys, manifolds, intake. This Was the best price I could find and searched for a WHILE.

I just picked up a 75k LQ9 for $800 complete from "Deuce" on here. Great guy to deal with. This probably doesn't help you since we are in Canada though. I would say that is a smokin' good deal around these parts.

If you buy a long block, you could just put your intake on it no?
