A stock 5.3 w/ gapped rings will handle the power you want to make.

Ironically LME was who I was looking into. Would love to know what happened.

How about a crate engine ready for boost?

Add a turbo setup or blower and go.

Unless you want a turn key dynoed motor ready to install

I am actually leaning more towards this route now. However, I am looking into an aluminum 427 long block that I can throw a Magnuson on later.

I'm very impressed with
Horsepower Research (also recommended by LG Motorsports)
Golen Engine Service

I wouldn't hesitate to use LME. Several friends have their engines and have been VERY happy.

Mine is a Texas Speed engine built back in 2014 and all the work they did has been great.

Why no LT5? if in Dallas i know of a LT5 for sale right now that would be relatively local!
