Madmike,

Stock bottom end 5.3, with good bolts. i had it bored .030 to clean it up. i got it w/a blowed head gasket and it sit too long and pitted the #6&#8 cylinder, so that why its bored. non castect #706 im having the bigger valves put in and pac or comp srings and such, im going to port match the heads to the maifold.[holley high ram w/92mm throttle body. nice cam to match it and the heads... im not sure on this yet? the cam game w/ a turbo build is beyond me right now..
2x gt45 ebay turbo
80lb injectors
built t350 trans
3000-3500stall
8.8ford rear
s10.
i know there are way better heads and things like that, this is my first ls build and turbo build so i dont like the ideal of spending a ton of $ and drop a valve, or lose the engine to detonation...

Should be a stout build. Just be sure to get a good tuner
