okay so here is the deal. decided to go carbed LS route.
grabbed a junkyard 5.3 LM7 motor for 600 bucks, started pulling it apart got lots of goodies on order. motor is super clean inside no dex-cool gunk build up in the coolant valleys no sludge on the pistons/rotating assembly or oil pan.

-holley street avenger 670 CFM vacuum secondary, electric choke
-MSD LS 6012 box
-comp cams 232/234 duration, .595/.598 lift and 110LSA

-7.350 or 7.4 push rods not sure yet need to measure
-LS7 lifters
-comp cams rocker trunion kit
