It will be here Monday. It is going in the wife's Trail Blazer, replacing the 5.3 V8. It seems the wife blew here engine in outr 06 TB.( It is not the EXT. 4X4 though)Her words were "I don't want a race engine Scott. I just want to be able to drive my truck again".
After viewing what I could buy a new 5.3 or 6.0 for, I opted to go this route and save money believe it or not.LOL I am not building this to be a major competitor....right now anyways. Subtlety is the word. So that being said, I am using the stock 5.3 stuff for the topend. I would LOVE to find a 224 cam for it. Nothing bigger because I don't want to buy a stall converter.
So going back in, for the now, with 5.3 heads and a factory LS1 cam, and stock manifolds and exhaust, I wonder what this thing will put out RWHP wise.
I do have Texas Giant cam begging to be used though.LOL To bad it wont work with a factory stall.
What do you guys think? I really do feel like Tim the Tool man right now.LOL God is she going to be pissed the first day she drives it.LOL

 

Don't be a *****!! She won't be that mad.

 

DUDE!!!!!!! I wont be able to go near an oven for WEEKS!!!!!!!! You kow how dem German bitches be YO!

 

Oh and I am not being a *****! I did it didn't I? LOL

 

I will be the only 408 TB in Oklahoma though!

 

She'd probably kill you if you did the big cam and stall which is why I said dont be a *****. I know mine would, she never complained about any of the cars I've built and enjoyed riding in them but she hated to drive them. It does sound like it will be a fun little truck though.

 

It should be a blast! With the heads and cam from the 5.3 the low end torque should make it a street light to street light beast! I use this truck to pull my boat and car. I want a 12 second truck.LOL With the Lightning putting out 380 crank and going mid 13's @ a fat 4800 lbs. I feel I should hit 12's NA at the same weight.
I wot be racing it from a dig at the track much. The 4l65e is a turd IMHO. I want 400 plus rwhp.That is until she gets her Audi. Then I will break out the sickness.

 

Oh and she will KILL me anyways because she is an evil German. LOL She wont understand that if you want a new engine that sometimes a built application can be cheaper.

 

Yea my wife didn't beieve it either. She has learned since but it wasn't easy convincing her of it.

 

That is just a woman for you. We married into evil though.LOl It kills my wife to see the villification of the Germans in our movies. Though her G-dad was SS. He faught the Russian front and was taken POW by them. Lived 3 years in the coal mines and came back and bred. Black lung killed him at 76. *****.

 

^^^LOL Scott your a trip man. I can't wait to see thie bitch run. I only wish I could see her face when you fire it up for the first time or the first trip she makes to the store not expecting it to move out like it will, LOL. Priceless, I can already hear her scream cuss words in German & cursing you to your death, LOL.

 

You could put the stall out of the I6 TB and headers for a TBSS should work.

 

Look on PT.NET, Zippy took a 6.0 and put 5.3 heads in it with a 224 cam on 114 with the stock manifolds, stall, and everything. He was very very happy with it

 

Oh but you will see it. How can I NOT film this when it fires up!? I will ride with her camear in hand.LOL

 

Will do. Thanks. Any guesses to power out put guys?

 

I6 TB have a higher stall?

 

42rwhp after she slaps you across the face.
Can you say, operation over-kill gets scott killed?

 

LOL Quite possible.......argh argh argh!!

 

I was hoping for like 45 though.LOL

 

DAMN IT!!!! I just got a call from UPS. They said the engine will be in Monday. The truck with a lift gate on it wont be available until Wednesday.DOH!
