If its really a Escalade then its a 6.0 not a 5.3

look under drivers side head on block for 5.3 or 6.0 to identify actual block. look at head on lower corners of heads to identify heads. 5.3s came with 706s and 862s while 6.0s came with 317s. then look for bolts on....cold air intake or airaid jr kit, long tube headers, performance muffler, underdrive pulley, retune....good luck with your project ;)

Damn, they did make a 2wd. I stand corrected, it must be a southern thing. I have never heard or or seen one around here.

Yeah I saw one at the junkyard a few months back and was thinking the same thing about them being 6.0 and 4wd but this was a 5.3 and 2wd.

Start with CAI

Next go with long tubes don't waste you time with shortie headers.

If you go longtube you most likely will need a new tune
