Hello, checking in from Bakersfield.I am new to LS series, not new to our playground. I am currently in the middle of a 5.3 swap inot a Jeep CJ7, and keeping it smog legal. Lots of info here, so I thought I would join.

Welcome neighbor!
We can't have you leaving it stock. Put a Crane # 1449041 (210/218 114lsa+4) in it (or similar sized cam) for a nice increase in useable hp/trq, while still having plenty of - overlap(-14*) to pass smog.

Thanks Blu, I may look into that in the future. Getting through the ref is my main priority right now. I did go through this one and re-seal, timing chaing, oil pump, etc... But I didn't pull the heads or anything as it ran fine when pulled out of a Tahoe. I'm keeping the 4l60e, and am using Advance Adapters parts, with Novack motor mounts. It should be in place this weekend.
