Swaps/FI/Upgrades- best value

Forgot to mention in my previous post, read up on LS engines that lose oil pressure before you buy an engine. I don't know exactly what years are affected - somewhere around 2013 for sure - and I don't know if it's only 5.3's or all of them. My father in law has a 5.3 of that year that started throwing a check engine light for a bad oil pressure sending unit and they found that it actually had low oil pressure. In his case there was a simple O ring that was causing it to bleed off but I guess it can also be wiped out cam bearings. The shop he took it to said there were a few years around his that had big issues with that and they saw a lot of them.

I've located a 2001 6.0 in a suburban for a decent price about four hours from me. I want the 01's because they were drive by cable, which saves me the trouble of installing a pedal module or having to get a new intake. hopefully that's before those issues started to crop up.

I like the way you think.

Also I wanna see LOTS of details on this build. Especially fitment with 4wd.
