did, valvesprings, cam, timing gear, front cover, oil pan, headers, pulled two broken bolts, installed water pump, crank, truck tensioner, and corvette alternator bracket, threw it all in, and it clears the turbo kit barely, i made my own belt with some zip tie and drill help to get the size for tomorrow. everything is good, motor fires and sounds good, there is a strange noise of something like a pulley squeal i have to find, other than that its good. wewt.
hopefully tomorrow i can see how much better this 5.3 lights this gt45

Denmah you've been around turbos longer then I've owned an fbody.
do you think the pte 6765 is a good Turbo for a t56, ls6 cammed 4.8? Its my going to be a daily driver.
I hope to see some new vids. Did you post your belt idea on yellowbullet lol

Can't really tell where the noise is coming from in the video, could the timing chain be rubbing on the back side of the oil pump? Dont know if you are running a double chain.

is the engine vented, the tube on the pass valve cover breather?
i had a 5.3 do that type of noise one time when i had the vent tube on the pass valve cover plugged, the pcv sucked vacuum into the sealed engine and the noise of air sucking past the rear main seal made that same noise

This thing is bad *** Denmah, Just made it through all 454 posts and the 30 pages of BS on that other forum. Keep doing what your doing man 
If this 5.3L doesn't pan out find your self a 6.0L in that yard and lets see this thing hit 9's for sure

Cracked flexplate, usually around the crank bolts. Sometimes not very obvious. If it is, it should change pitch or go quiet when going from P to R to N to D etc. Goodluck. Looking forward to the 80mm set up
