Ok, Thank you. Any suggestions on a particular kit? What cam choices would be compatible to keep the efi? Im not looking for crazy HP, i wasnt even goin to do a cam swap right now, but if its required i will. This is basically gonna be a street cruiser and occasional long run, in a 70 Nova,
I guess i should ask this, after the afm delete is this 5.3 as good as any other 5.3? As in older versions?

You can gather a few used parts around here as well in the classifieds like the valley cover and front timing cover. You'll need an Ls2/3 valley cover, lifters, lifter trays, springs, a 3 bolt cam, 3 bolt timing set, Ls2/3 front timing cover. All which aren't expensive but I pieced one together cheaper than a kit for my brothers L99. I went with vendors that offer free shipping on orders over 100 and I googled the part numbers. It shouldn't be much for what your wanting outta the 5.3 IMHO.

Verdad Gallardo Just keep in mind with a cam youre gonna want to change springs and pushrods also. Cam kits are generally $750. All in all, exect about 1300 for a total dod/afm delete and cam swap
