what would be the best for a 5400lbs. truck as a not a every day driver but a weekend toy. the 05 half ton crew still has a 5.3 with a cam making 296rwhp. i have a friend that has a 408 for sell. yall might know him. it is tha same motor out of the 10.94 gmc c3. but he as a new 418 that i could buy and play with. what do yall think

ps. the nitrous will be used

 

whats the price diff between the two. he sprayed the **** out of that 408 so you would need to tear it down and put new rings in it for sure. I am building a 418 for my truck jsut to not have a 408 so you should get the 408 cause I want to be the only one with a 418

 

the 408 i can get for 5,000 or so. it as been refresh and is ready to go. it can and has took a 500 shot direct port. the 418 is ready for cam and heads. low comp.

i was thinking of boosting tha 5.3 but what ever type i look at was going to be around 4500 to 6000$$ and get some were around 450 rwhp. tha 408 put down 586 to tha black top.

 

What all is done to the 408. Size cam and all may not be that streetable. I owuld be interested what all you are getting for 5K

 

it is a turn key motor. every think but tha direct port. that price is a friend to friend price. that is y it is not 7 or 8000. but after i chose one tha trany is not going to hold. he used a turbo 350 and let the wires hang

im think of tha same but i will cross that brige with i get there.

 

Well if you dont buy the 408 hook me up thats a damn good price

 

yeah slow it would be nice to have an extra 600hp motor laying around right???

 

Yeah since I will have one in the truck shortly

 

u think that 418 would make 500 rwhp. if so that would be nasty in a 05 crew cab. it would sound like a pro mod at a stop light

 

Hey 05crew where are you located? I seem to recall that c3 being from NC.
