$1200 budget rebuild This 5.3 is going in an 07 Tahoe. Going to be daily driver with light towing. I am going to rebuild the engine.
This is what I have:
This is what I have:
- Gen 4 5.3 block and crank-both honed/polished/checked by a builder. Cam Bearings installed. New freeze plugs installed.
- Floating rods (with only 7 good pistons!)
- 799 heads w/ valve job. (Cam kit springs installed and height matched)
- BTR Stage 2 cam kit (no lifters)
- Timing chain set
- Set of stock-bore pistons w/ rings
- Main Bearings
- Rod Bearings
- Oil pump
- Lifters
- Gasket set
- Trunion kit or Michigan Rocker Arms.
Talk to @WS6store.com I think it can be done using their rebuild kits. Running 1 in my ls6 and it was nice because it was a complete kit that showed up so I didn't have to piece it together.

Yeah they’re really good with setting you up with kits of all the stuff you need to reach a certain goal instead of trying to piece it all together yourself and forgetting half the stuff you needed.
