Re: My 5.3 Swap

After you get tired of constantly filling up every time you burn 8 gallons of fuel and or you burn up a pump you might decide that brand new shinney rust free $90 baffled tank looks like a deal.

Better fix yer speakers lol. Seems like there was traction issues everytime the boost came in. He also tended to roll into it instead of just hitting it.

Second that wow, sweet car 8)

Maybe I will pull it up on my smart phone because my sound card in bad and I think I will just put up with it until I replace the whole system. Then I take it some traction mods and drag radials will turn that thing into holy sheet this fun. Bring on the stangs.

Shoot Beeter do what you want. I was just playing the devils advocate for ya. Both of mine were baffled because I didn't think my carbed 509 442 swilled any less fuel or turned corners any slower than my sequential port fuel injected 231 GN.

Where'd you get that filter top air cleaner?
My Holley 670 won't clear the MSD box, so I gotta modify that too

It looks like the LS sits quite high in the engine bay. Curious about your performance and mileage compared to the 455. Wonder if you can beat the hot 403 you had in the 1/4.

If your ever thinking of going EFI you can alway go with a Fast EZ-EFI setup. I put it on my 434 stroker it did wonders. Best thing I did to that engine. I'm going getting 12.6mpg while driving with my foot in it as compared to 10mpg while driving it easy. Just an idea. Your engine looks great. And I thought youd never take out the olds engine.

I assume it's one of these.
