What's left on build? Just fully rebuilt my 5.3 motor using stock pistons, rods, and crank. I am looking to turbo it by the start of summer.
What else will I need to make it ready to handle forced induction? Please keep it engine related, trans and rear end are already figured out. Not looking to go crazy high, just around the 600's power wise.
We figured the compression ratio to be around 9:1 with the dished pistons and 243 heads.
