I feel like that will be the way to go. I'm sure the 5.3 alone is fun but after seeing the luv I'm guessing it'll be no comparison

Twin 70s is nutso unless you want 1500+hp IMO. Looks like a cool build!!
You're definitely right. We will see which way the build goes as I start getting into it deeper. The bottom end is definitely going to see major upgrades, I want this motor to be able to hold stupid power which I know it can stock. This truck is my "rat rod" I want it to have a stupid amount of power for no reason but pure enjoyment. Plus I'd like to surprise some c6 vettes at the track.
