Getting our 5.3 from Grey & White. 
They have a bunch of salvage yards
$800 for engine harness and computer with 90 day warranty
The Trans would be a little more


Call a few of the yards local to you.  Tell em you're looking for a transplant and need everything  including the front section of exhaust pipe and see what price range they offer

It's a large range
I've seen engine Trans computer and harness from  $1200 to $5000

Keep in mind that you're gonna need to spend $650 or so for someone to reprogramthe computer and rework the harness

Least that's what we're paying for the harness rework and computer program.    But it comes back ready to plug and play with fusebox relays and only 3 or 4 wires to hook up, positive and negative to the battery and to the ignition switch
