I'm sure the mods are not going to like you posting that, it could get you suspended. Might want to take it off....

Dude, it was freaking awesome, but I'll tell you I'd of never thought to do this if it was for this forum, I was talking with a buddy today and this swap was cheaper than a new motor with efi live and I got more power bone stock, this swaps been fun and educating at the same time, I'm doing another one soon! I couldn't have done it without the guys here tho!!! They rock!

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
I feel u dawg...i too got the idea to do this swap from this site...pretty much everything i know about this swap is from here and these guys are the bomb! I almost bought a tbi 350 to put in my truck n im glad i didnt. Its a bit more work with the 5.3 but as a lotta ppl with testify its well worth it in the end. I know i cant wait to feel that power. Ill probably be getting in some trouble with mine when its done lol.

for me, and a lot of people, its not much more work (for ls) to be honest, after a bunch of questions, and just getting the gonads to do a couple things it wasn't that bad at all...i don't know much about tbi's but i dont see it being much different to put in my truck, but for what i got in my truck i would NEVER put tbi in my truck...atleast on my next swap i won't have to ask near as many dumb questions lol...wont be such a newb...its pretty cool tho just after one swap I'm able to help out guys lol...but i do always put out there "I'm not a pro...asl LS1Nova or bw3 lol"...but still got a lot of knowledge from this build and its awesome
