I had them put in some 5.3 sleeves, so the sum-bitch should really run good now!

Roger has jokes



it's ok though. Having your shop name stenciled on the bottom of the pistons will make up for the 5.3 sleeves right??

Opinions for grille? Should I keep it polished or get it coated black?

I plan to cut out the inside of the stock grille and have the chrome around it sanded down and painted either the same color as the truck or a gloss black. I also bought some gloss black vinyl and will wrap the front bumper in that when doing all this...
