Default 5.3L Mild build questions

I just want to first say thanks to everyone for the help. Ive been posting on here alot lately..about my build, my girlfriends camaro, and now a build im doing for a friend.

My buddy blew his motor in his S10. I happen to have a 5.3L motor and trans sitting around. But before it goes in the truck we are going to do some performance mods and also have it rebuilt.
About a week ago i was reading someone on here who buys 5.3L all the time, paints them, LS heads & cam, and LS1 intake. I cant find that thread for the life of me...if someone can help that would be awsome.
Im not so much worried about the swap right now...just the engine rebuild and performance mods. So if anyone has input on that....like problems i might run into.


once again thanks.
