5.3L build and Truck its going in :)

[dvious]

Hey guys, new to the forums. Here is my 5.3L build that will be going in my Black 1992 C1500. Things Done: Chromoly rings, SDPC Z+221 Cam ( 221/226 .565/.560 114 LSA ), ZO6 valve springs, double chain billet timing set ( had to clearance the front cover ). All new cam bearings, rod bearings, main bearings, seals, gaskets, o-rings, freeze plugs. Honed cylinder walls, machined heads. Just finished the grinding, cutting and sanding on the top of the stock manifold, going to be painting it a flat black. A set of red aluminium fuel rails and steel braided cross over ready for that. Red MSD plug wires. Ordering starter, alternator, power steering pump and a set of Schoenfeld LT Headers and will be having them cermaic coated. Then just wiring harness / ECM, flexplate spacer and motor mount adapters. YAY!

thanks, i like it.

the engine and tranny are pushing 200k though, so i'm hoping to start a 5.3/6.0 build sometime in the near future.

on an unrelated note, what do you use to smoke the lights?

Its a mixure of clear coat and black until you get the correct opacity you are looking for. add more black to go darker more clear you lighten the smoke up.

what type fuel rail are you going to try to use, LS2? What brand?

i am going to run this set up with the matching FPR and a liquid fuel pressure guage. It took a while to verify that it would work on the stock truck manifold but finally got an answer

[RedHeartbeat]

professional products LS2 fuel rail? You have the part number?

[NAREJEPP]

so you are going to run the factory 5.3 intake with that fuel rail setup? what setup is that (name/brand)? definitely want to see pics once it's in
