This is really encouraging. If/when anything happens to my engine I may go the same route. Budget 370 short block.

Nice build. Similar to my 370 Build. I went with a Mahle Pistons in mine. Hanging in there for results. Nice work!

Awesome budget build. Very pretty dyno graph! Congrats man. Bet it's a welcomed step up from the 5.3.

Thanks
No comparison to my old 5.3!
The low end torque is awesome
