Default Need help!! New to this LS swap.

I have a 75 Chevy caprice convertible. I'm trying to choose between the LS 5.3 or the 6.0 & 4l80. I want to have at least 500 horsepower. So I need a good combo to go use. All the steps!!! Can anyone help please???

Wrong section for this. Post this in the Tech section.

Yeah, you're way off as to where to place this. You need to be in the Conversion & Hybrid section. But since you're here, that all depends on what you want and how you want to make it. For that power goal, N/A go with the 6.0, FI you can manage it with the 5.3 pretty easy.

Oh, and since that car is probably quit heavy, a hole saw is a must!

So who won?

Ok I'll help. Stick to the correct section/sub-forum to avoid bullshit and have a little decency to abide by forum rules.
