Yeah I guess some guys swap in 4th gen rears just to run the wheels but that still leaves spacers or really expensive suspension overhaul as the only options for the front

might have to give that a shot. vette wheels look pretty slick on third gens and ive run across a few over the years that could have be had very reasonably had i gone this route. no matter now, this build and swap will take most of my spare cash for a while lol.

so i drove my truck 60ish miles to get this $150 5.3 and end up leaving empty handed. guy said the shop that was doing the swap was gonna be open late friday so i could get it, i get there and the shop is locked up... what a douche!

does anyone have any suggestions on a cam? ive decided to just keep it a 4.8. im planning on putting a turbo on later down the road but it will be NA for at least a year or two after the swap while i gather parts. i want something thats going to sound good and run hard in both NA mode and with the turbo. idk if it matters but i dont plan on much boost, at least not initially. thanks
