Well my low mileage good running 06 5.3 turned out to be a pre04 gen 3 with a seized piston. Got ripped off pretty hard.
So I went out and bought an 08 shortblock
Cleanest used motor I've ever seen.
Put the arp bolts in it this afternoon and put the Fbody pan on it

And sadly the guy refused even a partial refund. Guess paying in cash isn't "insured enough" for the dirtbags of today.

Swapped the springs on my 241s.
Working on some fuel line stuff and making sure stuff clears. Looks pretty good I think. Need to finish painting some things and wait for my cam to show up so it can actually go together.

It's a tunnel ram. Same as any other. If you're gonna spin the **** out of it, sure. But you're going to give up low end power with long runners. Especially with smaller CI or a milder engine. There's better answers for an NA manifold, but yeah it'll technically work alright
