Rick's LM7 block has the 5.3L33 flattop pistons, stock bottom end and manifold (it was mine) I have ridden in it, as matter of fact it's the only turbo truck i've been in, 14lbs scared the crap out of me

this build will be E85 based and have a 4.5" thick front mount intercooler. so im not too worried about detonation as mush as the shortblock holding up.
