    Picked up a 5.3 today

    My friend that works for the Silverado salvage yard called me today and told me about an 05 shortblock they had. I got the block with rods, pistons, crank,cam, and lifters for $75. He hooked me up with all of the bolts from a 5.3 he had just torn down too. Hes gonna give me an oil pan, windage tray, timing cover, and valley cover when he rounds some up.

    find some 799s with low miles(flows just like the 243s) mill 'em
    you have the same plan i have but instead it'll be a 6.0 going to a forged 370 and front mount.

    are you gonna spend the extra cash on ARP bolts or the build?
    whats the purpose of the build? turbo, supercharger, N/A, Nitrous?
