Picked up a 5.3 GM motor plan on setting it up for boost I don’t know what its going in yet I assume I will swap it into a fox body.
Throwing in head studs, cam, valve springs, and LS7 lifters.
Someone decided to paint the heads and half ass paint the motor before I got it so im removing all the paint from the heads, cleaning the block then painting and priming the block.
The current plan is acquire all the engine, turbo, fuel system, transmission parts before finding a roller.
Infiniti M30, do it.
Monte Carlo.

I want to build a '78-'80 with a 5.3, possibly turbo but don’t have the time or place or skills.
It’s going to end up being a Fox body unless I can find a older Nova/Chevelle/Malibu
Like this Malibu? http://buffalo.craigslist.org/cto/4675267116.html
87-8 cutlass or late 80’s caprice!
Vega
No
And you guys can stop posting cars I won’t be buying a roller/whatever for another 6 months
A swapped Daewoo sounds pretty badass to me…total sleeper.
cool, are you following some formula/guide, or just doing your own thing with this motor build?
smart car…
Lambo
The motor is bigger than a smartcar though.
How about a Daewoo with lambo doors?
hopefully this gets further along than the last F-body
What are you talking about? The Camaro was 100% finished when I sold it went 11s on motor 10s on the bottle.
I think he means last longer in your ownership. Although I don’t remember you taking it to the track?
Because im not slow like you’re build and many others it was built, painted, tuned over about a year or so of calendar time once everything was worked out I decided I didn’t want a “race car” for a fun car dumped exhaust, solid mounts, and huge cam wasn’t for me anymore.
So I sold it
Now I have a Corvette so I feel a lot better about building something more track oriented since I can still jump in the vette and enjoy cruising, car shows, or whatever
All of the above comments is why I wasn’t going to post anything.
I’m following what most people do head studs, some kind of boost cam, dual valve springs, lifters.
If Drew sells his turbo I will pick that up or something slightly smaller.
Just wanted something to do in my spare time that wasn’t computer related so I started this
I think it’s cool what you’re doing, but yeah my build is super slow. But with the weather how it is there’s no point in rushing it, body work takes forever when you do it yourself.
I have a truck in take and 98-99 camaro headers (stamped steel tubular things) if you are interested. pay 2x shipping and they are yours.
What heads are they? Slap some 317s on and run lots of boost.
