I think it looks better with a remote mount. What's the scoop on the 5.3? It looks great but what did you do inside? Nice project you have going.:thumbsup:

I had two blocks but one had a burnt main and the other one had a messed up cylinder so i decided to bore it 30 and go with the cubes.

Sounds pretty stout. I am going to guess that you break the 450hp mark with that combo depending on your compression ratio. Do you know where that ended up at?

A tic over 10.5. I'm goin to have run good gas but not my dd so it won't be that big of deal. :D

How is the project coming along? Have you had a chance to get that engine fired up yet?

It's goin slowly here lately been workin my butt off at work which is good i guess but not so much for workin on the truck. :mad: I been tryin to find brakes for the front but nobody makes any i like except the big 14" 6 piston that i cant afford. :wow: Im takin everything off of it to get frame powdercoated and to paint firewall and underside.

No i have not had a chance to fire engine yet. I am re wiring the entire truck and i havnt decided what ECM to run yet. I been thinkin Big Stuff 3 but idk. Thats alot for a computer but it can control trans to so i will see. Thanks for askin thou.

Save some money and see if you can tweak a stock GM computer enough to run it. And the trans too. No need to blow the cash on the BS3 unit if you don't really need it.
