Re: IMPOSTER! ( or hey guys I got a little jimmy!)
Just realized I haven’t posted my drivetrain plans. I was going to rebuild a 5.3, but built a 6.0 I got with a broken crank. Then I put that engine into my 56 gmc. Then I was going to turbo the 5.3, but all the turbo stuff is now on the 6.0 in the 56 running 10lbs of boost. (Yes, it is fun!) I’m just going to run the 5.3 as is. It’s a 2001 engine with 85K miles and has only been opened to swap the cam to an LS1 Camaro cam I got for $25. Runs smooth and used to get 18mpg in my 56. Going to make it a cruiser, don’t need a lumpy cam or 600 horsepower. A looong time ago I bought some BH custom designs engine covers. Will need to change color scheme but will likely use these as they go with my dash and tailgate treatment.
