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.

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:
