Default New guy with a 5.3 s10

Hey there, finally got around to making an account here. Looking forward to being more updated in the LS scene. Anyways, I thought I would take this oppritunity it introduce myself and my truck. It's my 95 s10 x-cab, was originally 4.3 5 speed and I fully swapped it over to carry an 05 5.3 and 4L65E. All I have done to it is LS6 cam, LS6 intake, p&p tb, comp pushrods, sanderson headers, LS6 valve springs, narrowed 8.5 10 bolt, richmond 3.73's, and auburn LSD. Nothing too wild, it makes for a nice dialy and is pretty damn fast. Im saving up to get more parts for my rear mount turbo setup. Heres some pics.





















Please excuse the ghettoness.lol

Man the more I see these done, the more I say screw getting an F-body and drop a 5.3 or even a LQ4 or LQ9 in my Ex. Cab. If you don't mind could pm your cost on the parts that you had to do? I've read and read and read till my cornea's bleed but I still haven't seen anyone talk about price. I've priced it myself and the cheapest I see me coming out is around 4k.
