doesnt matter...who cares if you have to run 12 lbs to match the MP at 10 lbs...

 

Sorry if you posted it already but what where some of the big issues? does the 5.3 block support the fbody front accesories ok? any need to tap/drill anything? looking to do this setup also.

any short...what were the big trouble areas?

 

F body accesories fit fine...it's essentially the identicle motor. On any iron truck block you will need to tap the boss on the block where the upper alternator bracket bolt goes. Other than that, your golden. Everything else is identicle.

 

yeah we need some updated pics.vids and some wot runs, kinda the same setup im thinking of doing but swaping the 6 speedfor a th400

 

updates please

 

thanks thats what i was looking for. Wasnt sure if it was an LQ4/9 block issue or all iron block LS motors.

 

Love it! really motivates me to save up for mine...

 

All accessories worked fine, except the alternator that has already been mentioned which would be an easy fixed.. however i moved the alternator up for clearance for the truck manifolds so i didnt have any issues

I will get some more vids soon! installing a Twin disk clutch hopefuly this weekend and also trying to figure out my high vacuum issue, possibly bad turbo or something stuck in my intake manifold

 

nice build, did you tune it? It really behaves well in traffic.............all those freeways I would be lost.

 

behaves very well! drives like a stock car! You would never even knew it was turbod until you got into the throttle

Also in this video the car is way underpowerd as i pulled my intake off because i noticed a loss of power and found my FAST intake mas missing few bolts and had actually was coming apart

 

Very njce. Any dyno plans? Would like to see number.

 

its been dynod and number have been posted, but i guess you skipped over them

451hp/502 tq on 6 psi of boost. Stock cam and heads

in the process of installing a mcleod RXT street twin disk right now, next i am gonna install my deatsch werks fuel pump, and 93lb injectors, custom cam, and heads

hoping to make 600/650 on 6 psi with the heads and cam setup, hopefully 700hp with 10-12psi

 

Very cooool build

 

Ouch man that downpipe looks......restrictive.

 

Obviously not too restrictive to make 450+/500+tq on 6lbs with stock cam and heads junk yard 5.3 with just 6 ps. And my bend radius is much better than this 1200hp+ lambo's downpipe setup, so it cant be too bad.

 

here is a better picture

 

are you planning on wrapping more of that DP?

 

its wrapped on the back side of it where it comes close to the plug wires, dont see a piont in wrapping any more of it. i daily drive it for 10,000 miles now and havent melted anything . so i think it will be fine

 

Im starting my build and it's DAMN near identical, stock 5.3 with the exeption of LS6 cam/intake/injectors....

Im hoping to be around the same power as you, later on i will throw some 317's with springs and upgrade the fuel setup!

 

Any new updates or tune?
