Figure I'll post it here first. This was pulled from my '98 K3500 for a cummins swap. Has about 145k miles on it, I don't know how many miles are with the supercharger, but I'd guess its been on it most of it's life. I'd like to keep it for a future project, but I've got too much crap as it is. Got 10mpg, loaded or not, when using premium, and 7-8mpg, loaded or empty, if you ran regular. Would run about 5lbs of boost.

Comes with computer, but no wiring harness.
Has the whipple computer, with its wiring that ties into the factory harness. It's not a plug and play harness, but I'm pretty sure I have the destructions for the whipple setup so you could wire it up if needed.
Has the "Boost-a-pump" that jumps the voltage on the fuel pump when needed, part of the whipple kit.
JBA headers for an 88-98 4wd, I believe one might have a crack in the collector, I need to double check that.
Comes with accessories pictured, no alternator, the steering pump is there, but its got a dodge reservoir on it. So you could use the pump if you have the reservoir you need.

Things I know it needs.
Oil pressure sensor/switch
Coolant temp sensor (the one for the gauge, not them ecm)
Rear main.
Valve cover gaskets
Needs an oil pan, some idiot let it slip off the forks about a foot off the ground :homer:. Its still holding oil, might be able to hammer it back out, but I'd probably replace it.

I'm thinking starting at $3500. Its in Washington, about 30min east of Olympia.

Could also make a deal on the 4l80e that was behind it. Don't know if it was ever rebuilt, or had anything done to it, but it never had any issues. I did notice the fluid was pretty dark when I pulled it out of the truck though.
Transfer case is bolted up, But I never ran it. It was behind the nv4500 that i put into the truck, I ran the case that was originally in the truck because I knew it was good. I have no reason to believe there's anything wrong with it, but I've never ran it, or tore it apart so I cant say for sure.
