THE motor is knocking really bad it makes a loud clacking sound when I start it an it shut off on me coming home from work the other night
Oh damn, yeah, it's done for. Well, swapping in a 350 would be a ton easier than a 5.3.......

I’ve been looking at a 5.3 an I found a flex plate adapter that will allow me to use the same transmission I have now an I’m using some dirty dingo motor mounts or the original motor mounts to work with my application I’m going carb

ive had a 5.3 and a 6.0 ls swap all the hype aint that of a big deal to me LS swap just means alot of electrical bull crap and never stopping drama lol if i could do it again i would of went the 383 stroker and worry about 3 main things on it instead of 1000 from an ls swap
