Nice engine, and can be bored as it's a iron block. Almost all the usual HIPO LS parts work.
Ft accessories are up higher than the F body or Vette accesories.
Intake is a "dead player" at about 5500, N/A.
We have 1 w/ heads/cam, CAI... Well over 300RW, thru the stock exh manifolds.
Any of these engines needs a set of ARP fasteners at all the hi stress points.
The stock PCM is a fantastic control system! Can be tuned w/ EFI LIVE.
Use a 4L80 trans, and puff some air in it!
DBW is neat, too. No more throttle cables to mess with.
What kind of $$ are you looking at??

5.3 seems to be the "in" motor around here.Very easy to find complete for a song. My next street project will be a 3rd gen camaro with a 5.3 and a 42-76. That is unless I can close a deal with the little old lady up the street for her NA whi on whi vinyl top Regal. Then the 5.3 will go in that!..lol
