He wants us to spec and build his combo, ya know, because LS swaps are easy.Huh?
And cheap!He wants us to spec and build his combo, ya know, because LS swaps are easy.
Setup sounds familiar lol!How I would do a N/A 5.3 in a G-Body:
2900 RPM at 80mph. 9.25:1 final drive ratio in 1st gear. Should be roughly 400 HP with a good tune. Nice fun cruiser. More power and you should probably get serious about beefing up the frame. Not the cheapest way to do it for sure but will look good when you open the hood and will run very well.
- 220ish duration cam
- Matching valve springs
- Corvette intake and injectors
- ICT Billet brackets for truck accessories with alternator high on driver's side and compressor high on the passenger side
- Holley mounts, oil pan, transmission crossmember, headers and exhaust
- Gen III engine and PCM for drive by cable throttle
- 4L80E with Transgo shift kit
- 3600-3700 stall speed converter
- 3.73 rear gears with 26" tire
