Heres some pics to hold you guys over until i get more stuff ordered....




Not sure if im going to change the intercooler location or not....

Yes there both iron blocks but the 5.3's make the same amount of power (if not more) and cost about half and when i only make about $250 weekly it's a no brainer lol....
