New to the Ls world and need some info.
I plan on swapping a ls motor in my 2002 Gmc Sonoma. I have already did the pre fab work to fit the engine between the frame rails. Also have a holley oil pan. I have a 4.8l sitting around. Not sure if i should use it or not. i was thinking about a 5.3l or 6l with trick flow top end kit and a fast intake. Any help would be great.

Honestly Id get in touch with a vendor here. They will be able to give you information on what you will need for your goal. Such as what heads cam specs etc etc

Do a search for 4.8L on Hotrod.com.
They thought they had a 5.3 and they wanted to see how much spray or boost it could take before it went boom.
They couldn't kill it and made nearly 1100 hp on the dyno before they showed mercy and did a tear down.
They found out it was a little 4.8L.

why is it costing $4000 to pull 400hp out of an engine that already has 290hp to begin with? A set of headers, a well spec'd real aggressive cam and an intake with a solid tune should more than have you in that range
The 4.8L heads don't need to be touched for that hp goal at all. Aside from your supporting mods for your cam (valve springs etc.)
