Hi all,
I saw a 2003 Avalanche (5.3) with 133k miles on it. It has front end damage, but not too bad. Would this make a good donor vehicle for swapping in a 5.3 into a grand wagoner? The grand wagoner will not be used for rock climbing or the like. Mainly paved roads and some minor non-technical off roading on established non-difficult BLM roads.
Aside from the motor, how would the transmission and transfer case be for this application? What would be the biggest issues with this setup?
Lastly, how much would you expect to pay for the motor, transmission, and transfercase? What if I just bought the whole vehicle? It is not roadable.
Many thanks!!
