seems high for the prices around here. i could pick it up for about half that. depends on where you live. also if you have a u-wrench-it around they sell motors for $99.00. have to look around and find the low mileage and pull it yourself is the catch there.

That's very high...
Even the overpriced yard by me, has complete running engines for about $300-$400 depending on what it is (bigger in size means more $$$).
If you want their address and number, I can look it up for you, they are in rahway, NJ which is just north of woodbridge.
I picked up a running 460 (minus the alternator, someone bagged it before I saw the engine in the rack) for $350 with everything complete. Though the putzes hacked the EFI harness at the firewall instead of disconnecting it.
But the price was right, it came out of a van with about 80K on it.

The 5.0 is a VERY popular engine, found in lots of cars, should be able to find one MUCH cheaper than that. You might even concider the 5.8, I think these are common in trucks.
Keep looking...

i paid 500.00 for a early 90s 5.0 h.o. from a mustang with 60,000 miles on it and its been a good motor try to find one that was in a automatic trans, cuz if it had standard maybe its been over reved. also make sure that you use the trucks computer and all sensors, sometimes you wont have a place for the knock sensor just make a bracket and mount it on the back of the intake. good luck moondogg
