I have gotten a couple mixed numbers so wanted to get it from the source.
I just dynoed my truck and got some good numbers I think for "stock" with 282 rwhp/304 rwtq. Anyway I was a bit leary of too many changes since it runs so good but my plan is to install the 220/220 cam I have and mill and clean up the heads some to get my compression up. I will of course change the springs while there.
What felpro head gaskets do I need the motor is 2002 5.3.
What head bolts?
What other gaskets (or set) do I need to do this swap? this is not my DD and with the snow coming again I will tear it down but I wanted things in order before I started.
Also to support these mods and all should I look at new injectors. Are the 8.1 that are the direct fit are they 30s and the marine ones 42?
Any other thoughts would be great...
Thanks
Dave

 

the stock 8.1s are 32lbs.

 

Hey, I actually just made a list of everything needed to do my head/cam swap. Its in my truck but i have felpro part numbers for the headgaskets,timing cover gasket,valve cover gaskets, and intake gaskets. the list is for a 2000 but I'm 98% sure everything is identical between the 2. also you may want to contact Patriot performance >>>>>>
they carry GM head bolts for $25 and may other odds and ends for great prices. I can post up my list in the morning if your interested.

 

2002wdchevy if it is not too much trouble that would be great. But yes I will call Patriot Perfmance or maybe Texas speed. I think they both have a kit put together, I just found out...
Thanks again
Dave
