Is it going to stay a 5.3 ? Nice Hot Rod.
I like the battery location. Did the a/c lines bend trouble free?

Yeah, it's bored 30 now, probably stay that way...that hot rod is really sharp wish it was mine, just doing some exhaust on it. I had the A/C line going to the compressor extended about 3 " worked out good.

You know how it is mostly want it to hold what it 's making now...or just a little more . Also ordered one of those cool intakes like Blacksheep has on his truck. I think I'll finally have something that will get a good 60' time.
