I've got a 2000 chevy silverado z71with the 5.3 engine that I'm starting to try to get back running and use as a hunting truck and just a backup vehicle. My question is for the guys that have this truck and have had to replace the engine did you get a long block or a complete engine and if you went the long block route how dependable are they and where did you buy it. The engine that is in it may be salvageable but I am hoping for the best and planning for the worst since it does now have 220,00 miles on it and I've owned it since it had 100,000 miles on it.

Save money and do it yourself. Not real hard.

I would look at a crate motor from the dealer, if GM still sells them .

Probably nothing wrong with the motor. I've seen a lot of them with 300K and still going
