Was talking to my buddy and he says the 5.3 ls motors out of trucks are easy to find for cheap but i want a 450hp motor so anyone know if its easy to get that high with one of these or should i just spend more for an ls1?

Someone listed a 5.3 on here for $1200 w/60k miles it.

No drop tank, he already has the carb fuel sending unit. I'd put a inline pump just for ease. That and if the fuel pump ever dies it is a 20 min swap vs 2.5 hours. lol

FAST setup and be done with it. That way you aren't trying to match up factory wiring with older stuff. It is a PITA. With the stand alone ECU's it makes the install a breeze.
