Gotcha. I've been watching a box truck w/a 6.0/4l80e. Not sure what I can get for the carcass w/o the drivetrain as it's a fairly large object (not something you want just sitting around). While I know 5.3's get the job done, I have no desire to add boost/complexity & don't like the gearing of 4l60e's.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
