Hello,
I am going to remove the 283 that is in my 1970 and i want to put in a 5.3 or a 6.0L engine. Can you get decent HP out of a 5.3? Also, are either of these a hastle to install in my 70? Will they even fit? I have the option of a 5.3 or a 6.0, both drive by wire out of a 2007 suv. If i go with the 5.3 can i install a 4l80e on it, or are those transmissions only for the 6.0? I have read some 5.7LS1 threads, but i dont know if they apply to my build. Lots of questions, i know, thanks.
