5.3 swap into a LT1 Formula Alright guys, I hope I'm posting this in the right section. I have been getting pretty serious about doing a 5.3 swap into my 96 Formula. I'm not the smartest when it comes to the LS and LQ engines so bear with me. My overall goal is 400+ rwhp N/A street car. I'm just wondering on how easy it would be to make that kind of power on a 5.3. I've done a little research on the 5.3s and I kind of have an idea on my setup if I go with the swap.
Ported 243 heads, Custom cam (still trying to figure out specs), Ls6 intake, and stock bottom end.
If I keep it LT I had that setup planned out as well.
LE2 heads with 1.6 rockers, Lloyd Elliot 232/240 cam, 24x conversion, and stock bottom end.
I'm just trying to figure what the best route to go would be. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
