O.K.,after picking up the 5.3 and reviewing the work thats going to be needed to do that right,(detail engine compartment, dod delete, fuel tank, etc) I,m putting that off till winter, maybe not even this winter. I couldn't resist taking it apart...definitely some worn cam lobes and a broken valve spring, decided to do the cam and lifters, dropped the heads at the machine shop, rest looks good , no ridge in the walls etc., Will be a good motor for our 57 4wd long bed when I take it out. The 400 thats in there from when we got it is pretty cobbed up.
