If you want to do a LSx swap then do a REAL LSx swap.
However it's your car so do whatever you want. Have you read up on the ins and outs of the swap? It can get difficult. Are you doing it yourself? Are you prepared for the big costs? It's a lot more involved than just swapping over a motor...which is why you probably shouldn't even bother with a 5.3, just do a LS1, build it how you want and be done with it.
Just my opinion. |
Do you know that a 5.3 with a z06 cam, ls6 intake and stock manifolds in a an 01 camaro dynoed pretty much identical numbers to an ls1? Do you know you can get a complete low mileage 5.3 for $400?
