Ole green truck

[GM-power]

Well I haven't been to activate on here for alittle while(life got busy). Got rid of some other projects and have finally decided this old girl needs some love. I'm mainly focusing on my drive train for the moment., I'm going for a patina hot rod/slight sleeper. It has a mild 357 in it right now, I was thinking about swapping a big block I had in. Quickly I realized that just wasn't what I truly wanted. Then I thought about forced induction on the small block, that was my plan until the other day. Today I finally pulled the trigger on making some progress. Bought a 5.3 out of 00-02 silverado. My plan is go radical. Need to pick up some 243 heads, possibly dome pistons (if it has flat tops in it now I'll just throw rings on them and let it be), a BIG stick, go through and freshen it up, check the rotating assembly. Now I've seen many swaps with doing the fuel injection. I'm gonna keep it semi old school. I'm going to carb it. Now I have a huge parts list and steady budget. So it'll be awhile before she goes in. But it'll be done right. Hopefully if work isn't busy this week I'll tear the 5.3 down. So I'll try to keep some updates coming! Hope yall find some interest in this!!!
