Re: Whats your impression of a 5.3L LS motor in these trucks?
Quote:
There the evolution of the SBC. If you think part for part a standard off the shelf sbc will compete with a newer improved more efficent lsx your kidding your self. There are plenty of 5.3 and 6.0 motors out there on the cheap so that what will find its way into our engine bays. I love the simplicity of my carbed sbc in amy old pick up truck. On the flip side I wouldn't want one in a pro touring big dollar build. I would do a blown ls2/3 or perhaps a LS9 if the budget allowed it in a heart beat. If your not daily driving it (my sbc with the 4 speed and 3:08 gears actually pulls good mpg) and you have a good running sbc why spend 3-5K for a swap when you can easily get 300 to the wheels with heads and cam for less than $2000. When the world comes to an end I don't want electronics on my machines...lol
