I bought a 5.3 LM7 (vin T) motor today at a local salvage yard that my shop deals with - 650 including the coil packs/accessory drive
I picked out what cam, intake manifold and carb I will be using (comp custom grinded cam, holley intake manifold, Holley 670 CFM street avenger, and the MSD LS box)
What I am unsure of is:
which radiator / cooling fan setup to run
What else I need to make the TH350C bolt up to the engine
Which motor mounts I should use
Which headers I can use (someone mentioned that texas speed long tubes for 4th gen f-body will fit?)
Which oil pan should I run (summit/jegs muscle car pan, chevy performance, hummer h3 ? ) etc;
which fuel pump do I need?
If i decide to run upgraded heads which to do ? 243/799/241 or a true aftermarket ?
I am sure I have more questions but I can't think of them off the top of my head right now.
I figured I would start this thread to detail the motor build as it continues
