The front was low enough and I hadn't started planning the rear so I turned to the drivetrain. I found a good running 140k mile 5.3l and went through it. It was very good so there wasn't much other than a minor rebuild. I wanted a bigger cam anyway so it wasn't so bad.
I hate the truck intake so I started down the path to an LS1 top end. Of course that meant changes to the front accessory drive.
To this point I was still on the budget track but that soon would change.
