yes u gotta know what u want your setup to do since u are first startin if not u will just be throwing away cash

 

no its a 5.3l with stock bore but stroked. meaning it has a 4" crank vise 3.622" crank. longer crank = more displacement and more torque.

 

What engine are you talking about? 5.3L with a 4" crank is a 359, not very common...

 

I never said it was common just said it was out there. If you go this route you keep the smaller bore which in therory for a ton of reason I have read should yield better milage. Somethng about flame front and flame travel distance and propagation wing more efficiant with a smaller bore. But either way it would keep him from haveing to buy a new block. Just build what you have. I knew it was around 360ish just didn't feel like finding a cal with my iPhone to do the math.

 

I'm thinking the simplest route is best with his build

 

I say start simple, swap in a 6L and drive it around for a few months and see how you like the power, then go from there.
I'm starting to sound more and more like Brian!!

 

yeah ii was thinkin bout the 6l...its 3200 new,n bolt on for now i guess..

 

07 z71...if i knew u n we was bestest friend then maybe13k is just rough amount...could be more or less depense on how much my house costthats the first thing im buying

 

 

My 06 bone stock 5.3 with a D1 Procharger and supporting fuel mods netted 440 rwhp on a dynojet then blew up 2 days later...............lol!

I'm sure if the tuneup was done correctly it would have made somewhere in the 400-425 rwhp range and lasted much longer. Thanks MTI in Houston Texas!
