2000 Silverado Conversion
 

Hey y'all I have a 2000 Reg. Cab Silverado with a 5.3 up front and the 4L60e. My question is what would be the better course of action:

1). Supercharge the 5.3

2). Bore it out to 5.7

3). Swap in an LS3

My goal is to make this truck a 400 HP/400 lb ft torque sport truck.

Out of those 3 I would go with the supercharger. Will cost the most though.

I've seen a Magna setup for 5 K but my thought is that for a hair more I could get the bigger motor.

Save up for a transmission as well and support mods.

Oh yeah for sure.

How much budget u working with

My budget would be about 10 K. Is that too low?

I would personally turbocharge her and a 4l80 with supporting mods

Complete overkill for what he wants to do and right at the limit of a 10k budget.

^^^ i'd do that myself, but in his choices i would go ls3
