that's a huge temptation right now. Seriously it is. Just sell it and buy an ls car

 

I'll help you put a 5.3 in if you get one. I may have done it before.

 

there having a 50% off day at pick your part this weekend, you could get a complete lt1 for like 100-150 bucks with 1 month warranty

 

Lq4!!!!!

 

are the 5.3's easy to get power out of?

 

You can mod them in exactly the same way you mod a LS1. Everything is compatible. It's basically a iron LS1 with the same stroke, smaller bore. Once you put a cam, heads, intake...the only thing that will be different is the displacement. Plus it's iron so you can build it to take some abuse, and it can easily be bored out to a 5.7.

 

thats really good to know maybe I'll do a 5.3 in the 3rd gen instead of an ls1. When the time comes for it anyways...

 

i have been seeing alot of ls1 cars for sale recently. im thinking i should just get one of those and sell my car as is to pay of the loan.

 

IDK about that for the sole reason that you wont get much for your car. That would be bad *** tho!

 

ive been asking you for it for a long time matt, you know id take good care of her. come to OC, well have a beer and talk

 

pyrite but they are f'd, i see normally 2 or 3 a month but every last one of em are burnt. wierd

 

So nothing usable ? I'm just looking for a block, I plan on doing a 408 so no need for a crank and pistons right now !

 

So I was talking with my mechanic and if I pull the motor and rebuild I'm gonna go for a 355 with a mild cam in it to get some more power out of it.

 

Damn Man..I feel really bad..if we didnt go looking for trouble, and race the integra,and the STI..Maybe this would not have happened...Sucks...Ill be down to help you with the motor as soon as i finish putting the headers on..

Good looking out SRJ..

 

Mild...

 

To me a cc503 is a mild cam brother. Also I have to daily drive whatever I get so it needs to be sorta reliable

 

The CC503 is just about the biggest cam that will work effectively with stock heads. I DD my CC503 car, no problems whatsoever. Get a good tune and you'll have no issues.

 

Well that's good to hear because I was planning on using the 503 that's what I wanted to get. Also when I think big cam I think of something like cu has in his car where it's cammin so bad that it sounds like it's barely running at idle LOL

 

its not your fault man. my dumb *** was the one who chose to go run with you instead of just chillin at the track. its all good though. if i dont get an ls car im gonna have a decently fast lt car when im done with it.
