Long day or not, you can't mix up Lifters with Rockers if you're going to build a motor. Things won't end well.


Wafflecone Wednesday?

Mopes,
what all parts from a LS1/LS6 will work with the 5.3? Because they basically the exact same motor other then block material and bore.

Glad to see that your actually getting to do this dude, i look forward to seeing your progress and i wish you the best of luck!

[96s-10ss]

Thanks SRT. I'm damn excited about it. My goal is to have it AT LEAST running by the end of August. Seems impossible,but I think it can be done
My not have it built how I won't by then,but it will be cammed and have different internals. Other things like injectors can be done later.

Well if you are trying to build an LS1/LS6... im sure all the parts will work, because they are the same block basically. I did find out today that the LS1 crank is actually lighter than the 5.3L crank.... everything else is the same, its just got lightening holes in between the journals.



Oh and speaking of LS1s and LS3s... I actually built a couple LS1s and a couple LS3 based 427s today

So I was told that the only major difference for sure is the bore. Which,I already knew that. So nothing new.

The 5.3 heads actually flow just as good. Just smaller combustion chambers. The intakes will interchange too with the slightest of alterations.(Tapping a 1/8th in hole into a piece on the LS1/LS6 intakes to make them fit the 5.3)
