Lol, holes don't just happen like that in a rollover. Not behind a cast iron exhaust manifold. That was damaged after it was removed. Pass..

Its hard to tell but it looks like the header bolts are all snapped off, My guess is the exhaust manifold took that chunk with it in the crash.

I paid 600$ for a 5.3 120k miles, harness, pcm, complete and with accessories from a salvage yard. That is a unknown condition motor, 100-200$ is what I would pay for that craigslist one so that atleast parting it I could break even in a worst case scenario.
