LSX 1986 camaro 5.3 to 6.0 swap
this is my 1986 camaro. owned it since i was 14. went from a 2.8 to a carb 305 to a now, turbo 5.3/4l60E swap. the motor is stock except for a 02 ls6 camshaft, weiand intake, p&p throttle body, and a vig 3600 converter. the turbo is a precision t67 with a tial wastegate and bov. also did the f-body conversion which was a B*tch!!! lol and the 4th gen dash swap. im hoping for around 400 hp with the 8lb spring but who knows???

you shouldn't have to hope too hard... lol... Car Craft did a heads and cam swap on a junkyard 5.3 and got 460hp and 397 ft lbs of torque. If you are boosting one you should be well over 400hp! Heck when you put headers and an air cleaner kit on them they make over 300 already!

BTW... I have a set of heads that they use in this article for sale really cheap!
Good luck with your build!

Yeah... with 8lb with cam and intake 5.3 you will make more like 500 and something!!
with a 3600 converter and good traction...that car should go low 11s high 10s at 125mph+
You see the boosted 5.3 in HOTROD about a year ago? Junky tan 81 Ford with z06 cam and truck intake? He went 9s
