Default WhiteChevy3's Budget Build

Hey guys started off with a 99 rcsb with a stock 5.3 with some bolt ons.

Picked me up an 07 LQ4 with 70k miles on the clock for $1k.

When I got it it was all stock, I removed moldings and dropped it 2-4, added a billet grill, and some wheels.

@ oakley , , build a pretty fast reliable 6.0, a good riding truck with the least amount of money. Would like to see around 400 rwhp NA and run 13s. May add some spray or FI at a later date.

I will post complete list of what I spent when the motor goes in. Should be 1 month or less.

For cost effectiveness just port and polish them the best you can your self and have Them milled down for higher cr.
