Has any one ever heard of a crank breaking? Thinking of doing a 6.0 swap!

FWIW that's the 5.3 I was referring to, and from what I understand, $1000 for one is outrageously expensive. My 2004 6.0 shipped to me in 2009 was $1200 complete, so the far more common 5.3 should be $800 tops for a good condition engine, and even that's high. Check craigslist. 5.3's are a dime a dozen, but they are good engines.

So, my body is off and the engine is out, are you telling me that a regular 5.3 should fit and bolt right up? I don’t want to go and buy one if it will not fit.
