Value of 2015 GMC L83 5.3 LITER ALL ALUMINUM
 

What would the value be for this LS engine? 2015 GMC L83 5.3 LITER ALL ALUMINUM. ENGINE IS A 355 HORSE LS BASED GM SMALL BLOCK
2015 GMC SIERRA 1500 Z-71 ALL TERRAIN.

And what would it cost to turn this into a 500hp engine?

Thanks in advance!!

Is this a crate engine, or a super low mile pullout?
FEAD?
Computer?
Harness?

Super low mile 6000 kms (located in Canada). Comes with ecu, gas pedal, wiring harness.

This engine is not an LS based engine, but it's from the new LT engine family, with direct injection. Several new features make these engines desirable, and the performance aftermarket is already well invested to help guys that want more power, to obtain that. I can't really find any used engines to help you get an idea of what this is currently worth. I'd be afraid to guess, as there just aren't enough of these out there as pull outs, to know.
Perhaps someone will chime in that's seen pricing on these used LT engines...

Thanks Scott and hopefully someone else will chime in.

I have one listed in the for sale section for $5000.00 complete 17k pullout with a 2wd 6spd Trans.

New lt motor & trams
 

A wreck 2014-15 2wd truck will go for $8000-$12000 depending on the damage so $5000 for motor an trams is not out of line .trying to buy a truck for the last year for motor & trans Ecm for my 67 Camaro.

To make 500hp from a 5.3 and no forced induction.... won't really be possible and have it not be an all out race motor.

You would be better off buying a 6.0/6.2 or even an LS7 pullout (lots of LS7's for sale on corvetteforum.com).

I personally know the guy selling these parts.... he built my LS9 turbo motor and my LS7:
