You guys and your silly carbs.. lol.. I'm still not convinced it's a cheaper route compared to the plentiful GM EFI stuff out there.

Ohh.. the G-bar and Fays2 deal sounds nice...

i've heard enough about the 5.3s already. maybe its becouse of where i live, not sure. you should build a 6.0 with a 4.8 crank and whatever rods you need to make it work. some L-92 heads and intake. be cheap, run balls out and be unique and cheap.

Default build

steven
i like the #1 idea if it matters..love to see your build of the 5.3 fi
how about that fairmont with the 5.3 turbo ?....DAMN
i just picked up a 5.3 pullout for less than 250.00
i already have the camaro intake ...i made a deal for the rest of the ls1 injectors and rails along with a f-body pan/pickup/tray that i needed anyway.
i will probably throw a cam in(after reading how much they pickup)
gonna clean it up and paint it ,gonna get the rambler going sooner because the ls1 is all apart and takes more $ than this to get done.
yes, i said going...not draggin ass anymore...
back to your build......love to see you do as much non-bling ,creative build ..scrounging up good used deals (ebay or forum classifieds)and making paint your friend.

My thoughts exactly... trans am style without all the frills. Clean, functional, minimal expensive stuff (billet hinges, etc). Oh yeah, and how bout a carb'd LS3 under the hood?
