Parts list opinion
Hey guys I'm just looking at some opinions for my parts list, Its for my 5.3 that I got out of a 02 gmc yukon that was rolled over, supposedly has 140k miles. I talked to a shop and told them this is going into my 1980 swb C10 that weighs roughly 4500lbs, has a 5 speed and 3.73 rear gears. I told them I don't care for mileage and that the only other modifications that this 5.3 will have is going to be long tube headers and a hot air intake. They recommended a 226/228 .585/.588 114+4 camshaft with BTR .660 lift dual springs and Tool steel retainers. As well as possibly lifters if its a higher mileage motor. So from that I built this list so far
Camshaft- 226/228 .585/.588 114+4 BTR .660 lift dual spring kit with tool steel retainers 5/16" 7.400 Hardened Pushrods LS7 Lifter Kit Melling Hi Volume Oil Pump GM LS2 Timing Chain ARP LS1/LS6 Hex Head Bolt Kit Stock 5.3 head gaskets What other necessary gaskets should I replace? (intake, timing cover etc?) any of those necessary to replace? |
gaskets
yes, timing, intake and water pump. any thing you take apart
is a potential leak if you use old gaskets. no need to do a job twice. |
Okay i'll have to add that to the list, what do you guys think about the cam?
|
I think it should do nicely with your setup. Especially being m5. Nice parts list btw, should make for a reliable, proven valve train.
+1 on gaskets, cheap insurance.. also oil pick up tube o-oring (orange) What heads you running? |
Don't forget new lifter trays...
|
How will that 5.3 bolt up to the 5 speed? Or is the 5 speed out of nbs like the 5.3 was?
