Ricer going to the "Darkside".... My name is Kevin, I'm from MN. I just picked up a straight and rust free 1991 240SX recently with intentions of doing an LS swap w/ T56. I just want a fun street car! I currently am a fan of underdog 4 bangers, exclusively the DSM cars (those are those junky, early '90s Chrysler/Mitsubishi turds) which I for some reason love. My 1992 Eagle Talon makes 520awhp (yes all wheel) on a dynojet, thanks to a Holset HX40, 30psi, E85, 1650cc (that is about what, 160lb/hr?) injectors, and even a stock shortblock 
I suck at driving and have only managed 11.47 at 127 when I was making 75awhp less. With shitty 1.8 60fts.
I am employed as an auto tech, but went to school to be a machinist. Due to the shitty economy, I can't get a job as a machinist anywhere here.
I hope to learn a lot from you all and learn to love these weird v8 things! Wtf is a pushrod?

Thanks for the nice comments. As I am a fan of forced induction, I need to learn more about these 5.3L turbo setups. I might also just throw in a 6.0L. I really do not want a real LS1. Nothing against it but a little too pricey, and I prefer iron.

Wlecome!
A pushrod is used to lift the rocker arm!
Here is a animated video build of a LS2. At 1:43 the pushrods are installed.
