Default Newbie from the south

Hello everyone , I`ve been a avid lurker for years and created this account ages ago. Other than routine maintenance ,building a car is still new for me.I`m currently in the process of 5.3 swapping my 2000 Pontiac Firebird V6 5SPD. I have a 1995 Pontiac Firebird Formula that was my current project car but after a tree limb feel on my hatch shattering the glass and damaging the sail panel I decided to move forward with the parts car and junking my 95. The parts car was flooded so after i swap out the carpet and other details , i`ll see how bad the electrical system is. My current plans are to rebuild
my 5.3 with the kit from RPM Speed, Port my 862 heads install the LS1 valves , Pac 1216 springs ,4l80e swap, 8.8 rear end swap,
My current plans are:
  • Rebuild 5.3 with the kit from RPM Speed
  • Port my 862 heads install the LS1 valves
  • Pac 1218 springs
  • 4l80e swap
  • 8.8 rear end swap
  • VS Racing 55/58s
  • TSP 224R Cam

I probably left a few things out but stay tuned and give me a hand when needed, stay tuned for more !
