Re: 1969 Short Wide
Mike, Im pretty sure your 4.8 will make a great engine for your project, it just lags a little more than a 5.3, and they both give you around the same MPG. You didnt pay much for it (great score) but if you want a 5.3, just keep looking, theres lots of them out there! If I were you, I would use the 4.8 since you already have it....:smoke:

I don't know that you could find what you got for 350.00 in a 5.3 though. Most people usually hit around the 1200 - 1500 dollar mark. and........... I am subscibed so get busy. :haha: |

On another note, I ordered a new regulator/flow valve for my tig today. Hope to have it by this Friday so I can get back on it this weekend. |
Re: 1969 Short Wide
I can tell right now if you don't get a 5.3 you will always regret it. This guy can sell the 4.8 again surely with no problem. Do it like you want it.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Looks like a nice project.......... im on a little laptop, but to me that Camaro in the back looks like a 67, not a 68

Re: 1969 Short Wide
You may be right, I have a 67 and a 68 I may be getting them mixed up? But, I think I ran the numbers on this one I thought it was a 68 RS? I don't know, it needs a lot of TLC though. It is next on the to do list. I will try to get some better pics of both maybe you can tell me what they are just by looking at them.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Sorry man that it didn't work out, but did work out at the same time. :lol: I think you will be happy with the 4.8, well at least until you find a 6.0 :D

I have a question for you experts out there. I am getting ready to order front end rebuild parts and need to know that I actually have 71-71 front upper and lower control arms. Take a look at the pics and tell me these are correct and not 73 up vintage. They look more like 73up to me? http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...ruck/69-35.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...ruck/69-36.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...ruck/69-37.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...ruck/69-38.jpg |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
isnt there only 15 hp diff between the 4.8 and the 5.3, and the 4.8 is rated 2mpg better ?? it looks like you could make that up easily with exhaust and air filter upgrades

Yes I have looked through your build before. Crazy how your truck was held hostage for 8 months WOW. I won't have to worry about that because we are doing all body and paint work. Quote:
