Now for the power....

I started off with an aluminum block 5.3 from a 2009 Suburban that had a bad lifter but as we all know its easy to let scope creep get the best of us. I wanted to do a build that could eventually be turbo charged but also right out the gate have plenty of torque to get the big girl moving and moving fast. It didn't take long and I ditched the LSX path for a BBC 496.

Here are the pictures from the engine build process. My engine builder took 12 months to finish it but when he did the experience of hearing it fire off for the first time was priceless. You can't mistake the sound of a 496 Stroker!
