ok guys i have a clean 08 ccsb with 200,000 miles and it just freaked out on me and i think i have a collapsed lifter that knocking so i tore the truck down. Lifters under the heads suck! Anyway i am trying to decide what to do about this problem. I want to go ahead and put a cam in but why do that to a motor with that many miles? So i am thinking about a motor possibly but am not sure if i should mess with the 5.3 or if i could possibly get a 6.2 slapped in it(doing the work myself of course) for a 5k budget. Anyway if you had my truck and 5 grand what would you do? any help would be great!! Thanx.

 

Drop a 6.2 and 6l80 with a cam and 4.10s. Then boost. I would if I could

 

Goneb4u has a 6.2 & 6l80 for $3600.

 

4.8/4L80e, billet 3400 triple disc, custom driveshaft, KBracing OR Trick front mount with a 72mm

 

x2....

 

Good luck getting that for under 5K.

 

i really like the idea of thr 6.2 liter. i could do a cam swap headers and a converter and tune and probably be around 425 at the rear wheels and that would be awesome for me.if any one has a line on a 6.2 around Baton Rouge La i sure could use somehelplocating one.

 

ill go with this guy but if you could ill get the kb log manifold and run trick everything thats just me.

 

Wow, if you can do all that for 5k I'm really doing something wrong.
