Hey Trevor! I think it's great that you're into cars at such a young age, and that you get to do this with your Dad. I would've love to have shared that with my Dad when I was young!

I think a used 5.3 is a great idea. One of the mags this month did a test and made 480 hp w just heads and a cam. They're plentiful and can be picked up really cheap. And since you're planning on going through it with Patch, you can build it stock today and mod it later. Plus you'll be way ahead of us old guys with all that experience you'll gain rigging an LS motor in a first gen.

Keep going buddy and remember we really like pics around here...

Trevor .. lucky you.. great experience to start so young,, it reminds me when i started helping with and el camino and then with my actaul camaro.. like 15 years ago.. just be patient, read a lot and hear the old ones.... it help me a lot to take the right choices...

I would also agree with a stock 5.3. In time, once you learn to really handle your car, you can start to bolt on goodies. With the thick walls those motors LOVE boost. I have been finding them, in Minnesota, for as cheap as $125 for the short block. I have found complete running motors for $250 with wiring harness.

Good luck on the build, it is great to see young people not going towards the import side.
