Incon TTi and 5.3 build My first attempt at an all out engine build. I got this unknown mileage/year 5.3 shortblock for $100 on craigslist. Cleaned it up, put in King bearings, newer LS6 rod bolts and some 317 heads with Patriot Dual extreme valve springs. Found a steal on this Incon stage III kit. It only came 80% complete, missing only the bits and pieces. Let me know what you guys think!

Alright guys after 3 deployments and numerous TDY's i've finally got this thing installed. People weren't kidding about how the nickel and dime stuff adds up! So my question is i'm down to just needing a 2 bar map sensor and i'm set and ready to go to the tuners. I picked up a GM part # 12615136. Just wanted to make sure this is a plug and play sensor. Will this work?

I got the base tune but i'm pretty sure I have a bad map sensor plus its so pig rich it burns my eyes!. It's reading 88 Kpa when it should be in the 101 range. I got it off flea bay so i'm going down tomorrow and getting an AC delco unit. Hopefully tuned this week.

Well I got to spend some time at the tuner today. Not too shabby, still working on the street tune. Apparently I have more injector than i need. So on to the pics!
This is how she started!
I found a 2002 5.3 for $100
Needed some work
Got the old motor out
Stripping it down
Took the K-member to get sandblasted and painted
Tapped the oil pan
These things were nasty
Got the motor back from the machine shop and assembled it with new rod bolts and clevite bearings
LS9 head gaskets
Installed some 317 heads with Comp cams double springs
All cleaned up
Going back in
Looks good going in!
Did the trap door mod
255 Walbro's hooked up
Fuel bucket c/w....this wasn't how it went in. I was able to get proper fuel hose and looks pretty good.
Had to figure out how to get this cover back on so i welded some self locking nuts to some tabs
Cover on
Covered with heating/air conditioning tape. It's aluminum and nothing gets by it
Built a custom exhaust using Y-pipe from flea bay
I haven't welded in 10 years so i'm happy with my mess!
Engine bay for the most part. The IAT is plumbed in
I'm also running a snow stage II methanol kit running boost juice. Just swapped out to 10psi wastage's. Can't get to the dyno until next Thursday. Once done i'll post some results.
