Default Hello from Ohio

Getting ready to swap out my 383 to a 5.3 in my 91 Camaro. Gonna keep it mild, Little bit of top end work on the heads and a decent cam, nothing crazy. I'm new to the newer motors, so I'm trying to learn as much as I can. I really couldn't pass on the opportunity to do this swap, just picked up a complete running 5.3 from a 04 Tahoe for $150. Putting the 5.3 on the engine stand today and start tearing it down to go to the machine shop. I'll be posting pics and asking questions along the way. Have a good day everyone.

Know anyone that has a set of rear tires/wheels for a 4th gen that I can bolt up in the spring for a quick trip down 75? Need to see if doing so causes my vibration to go away.

Welcome.

I love the 5.3s, they're cheap and work well. I swapped one in my 68 Nova, and with a Tick 227/235 cam, TH350/3800, 3.73 10 bolt, and cheap eBay 1.75 long tube headers went 11.74@114. Faster than my 383 I built in the early 2000s!
