Picked up a complete 4.8 engine out of an 02 chevy 1/2 ton 4wd pickup from a local seller. Truck had frame damage and was totalled but engine ran great. 64k miles on the truck odometer and looks like new inside valve covers but I havent had a chance to pull the oil pan yet. All accesories on engine except a/c compressor. Even had exhaust manifolds and starter on it. I got all of the underhood harness to the firewall plug and the pcm. I picked it up for 600 bucks. Next project after the jeep build will be hopefully dropping this into a 1970 Triumph TR6. Triumph was pretty quick with the little 152 CI straight 6, so the little 4.8 should be really fun in it. I have the engine on a stand in storage. Most bare engines with well over 100K go for $500 - $600 here with no harness or pcm. PCM is a 09354896. Not done anything on OBD2 stuff yet and will have to get a cable and software soon. Hopefully this was a decent price I paid.
Edit. Forgot to ask the question... What are the recommendations on software/cable for tuning this thing when I do a cam/intake change? It may even get a couple of small turbos at a later date. I know there are pros and cons to each software like EFI Live, TunerCats etc.
