By the way you need to find some 292 fender badges

Yep, it works great. It drives just like the 4.8 in my 2012 daily driver. As for the cost difference, I gave $500 for the motor. The cheapest 5.3s around here are $1000. It wasn't cheap to change the look of the motor, though. Going through my receipts, it was about 1K for parts that you wouldn't normally need.

And, I beat you to it on the badges, I bought a pair from board member mahanian back in March.
