About to start my LS engine swap.

Yeah me too. I think they will look very good, even though not many people will notice them.

Picked up the engine today. It was bored out .030. I had enough time to put the rear case and flexplate on. I'll post pictures.

Started the ring fitting process, top rings done. Hopefully finish tonight.

What fuel pump setup are you using?

 

[Apexweights]

Finished with ring fitting, should start and finish rod bearing clearances this weekend.
Sorry that I forgot to put the fuel pump setup. I am going to be running a jegs brand fuel pump and regulator. Link below.

Electric Fuel Pump, Street/Performance, 105 gph free flow @ 12V

Ran into a hiccup with the rod bearings. I received 4 sets that were the correct bearings and 4 sets that were the incorrect bearings, but no big deal should be able to finish putting the engine together this weekend.

Pistons installed in the 5.3L. I was going to install the cam but they didn't put any break-in lube in the box, so im just going to go buy some.

Okay finally, finally have the engine together, ran it for 10 seconds.

Long story short had to bring the engine back to the machine shop because the first cam bearing was wrong.

I have pictures and will put them up asap. Them ill get a video of it running before putting it in the car.
