Awesome job man, i like how you left out all the gorey details lol cant wait for some vids!
-
track was deserted! wish ours were like that. nice runs, what happened to Alex in the first vid?
-
yaayyyyy go me! just bought a VIG on friday. JUST MY LUCK
Damn, id call them and see if you can get a deal from them lol

I have a 5.3 i'm tearing into as well, my plans were to just put a nice cam in it, and replace the pistons with 4.8 pistons and replace the rings. The 4.8 pistons are flat tops and will get you more compression over the 5.3 dished pistons. Might as well throw in ARP bolts wherever you can and maybe some nice clevite bearings too.

Yes this looks like mine.
-
Fuel pressure! I like autometer, but I love my AEM wideband.
-
yea if you have deep pockets, a FAST intake would look nice and get you more power
-
-
tbss intake, 4 bolt throttle body, and x-link. I believe thats all
-
you will lose torque due to the runner design, the truck manifold is better. if you want a different intake get a tbss or 07+ with the bigger tb. but youll need an x-link for those as well. money spent elsewhere would be a better choice in my opinion
-
Why would you want to swap? you will lose power and its a huge pain in the ass.
-
Its fairly decent in my amateur opinion. Although tricky if you're driving and tuning, easy to goof something up(ask me how I know lol)
-
Times look familiar lol very nice 60'!

I'm working on the electrical next week. That should take care of the weirdness and the iat heatsoak issue. Other than that the paint & bracket hasn't been touched yet. I might do that next week while i'm working on it though. Ill get pics of the paint spots

I have always just ran the stock head gaskets
You can just go to you local deal ship and get them. A lot of guys just run stock gaskets on their Built motors. I will be running a set of LS9 gaskets on my build.good for boost and what bore I need.
X2, running stock l92 head gaskets.

I'd say just throw a fully synthetic oil for high mileage motor and you should be fine!! 100k is not considered high mileage under my book anyway lol
X2

Don't think anyone in here has ever run a banks system. I could be wrong though
-
15-18k since the market is really crappy right now.
-
No one really has an interest in stock injectors lol try Ebay maybe.
-
Thats pretty big for our engines but im sure people have put bigger cams in than that. you should be fine just match your stall
-
Welcome, sorry for your loss. How much the tonneau is worth depends on what kind it is and the condition.
-
No times? Lame
-
Put everything back and see if it fixes the problem

Thanks a lot for the pointers Alex.
I've read everything I can find on this swap, too, and still had a few questions.
You've cleared up a couple of them.
You didn't mention anything about changing the brake pedal. Did you do that?
Changing the brake pedal is mandatory.
good post, this will help alot of guys
