Newb with questions....

im looking at doing a 5.3 4l60e swap in my 1989 silverado

1. witch motor mounts are the best to use i see alot of ppl using different ones

2. im looking at tsp 228R cam in a 112lsa is this a good choice? i know everyone is going with the 220 or the 224 i just wanted something a little big bigger and a cam that would be more top end. but im still new to cams and know enough to get me by for the most part

3. what would be a good stall for this cam

Thank you in advance

228 is a good choice. 3600 stall would be great. Cant help you on the mounts.

Theres not really a "best mount", its up to opinion.

A lot of people like the dirty dingo mounts.

I used the dirty dingo adjustable mounts and could not be happier with the outcome.

Would feel like it has a lack of low end, but would scream up top. You can drive it, but you wont like it.

x2.

I had a smaller cam than that in a 5.3 with stock converter in my 01 and it sucked down low. If I wanted it to be quick I had to hit it from 35. If I stood on it from a stop it felt like a stock truck until it got past about 3400rpm.
