    5.3 Junkyard Build. Need inputs before proceeding.

    Like it says im brand new to this.




    Ive got an 02 5.3 from some guy off craigslist for $200. Block/Heads/Crank/Rods/Oilpan/NoSensors. I want to put it in my 92 Ext cab Silvy to take place of the 350. As of now my 350 isn't blowing up soon so I want to put the 5.3 on an engine stand and build it throughout the time. Ive done tons of research for the past 6 months before buying the engine. And I want opinions if the parts list I have will work as a DAILY and a weekend warrior.

    Get yourself some ARP connecting rod bolts as well. As far as the PCM I'd recommend Nelson Performance. They know what they're doing and most importantly have good customer service.
