Not too much to update this week at least picture-wise. So this weekend was motor. To update, it was a 5.3L out of a '02 tahoe.Got the following done:
-New Cam. Put in one from a '03 6.0L. Got the idea from a Hot Rod article and some research, sounded like a cheap way to add a little more HP.
-New Gaskets (timing cover, cylinder, oil pan), and cylinder head bolts. Then decided to button everything up with a new edelbrock intake. I'm probably going to paint everything chevy red, but i kinda like it in raw form right now.
I'll make up my mind when i get the retro valve covers on it.
Still waiting on a couple of things. I'm debating if i want to swap out the needle bearings in the rockers or not. Now's the time since they're off right now.
Lastly, I just have the OE valve covers to protect from anything getting in the motor. I got some adapters so I can mount SBC valve covers, but you got to move the coil packs, but I was planning on doing that anyway.
Stay tuned...
