Re: Thinking about the 5.3 swap in my 86.
Also think the ls2 will need premium gas, along with a cammed lq4, lq9 or 5.3. The ls1 or ls2 cam isnt worth the work to put in anything(bang for your buck).
If your running one tank the the cost doesnt have that great of impact as ACE stated.
Regardless of what you put in your going to want to account for a tune, GM stock parameters were booboo and it will really wake up an engine.
The Motor mount plates are going to be trial and error. Mine set my engine back and i had to get a driveshaft cut. Not that big of a deal since im just a 2wd and i plan on more hp down the road so.
The truck intake is the best bet for your app. If you switch to the car intake you risk losing the torque that the truck needs especially if your not going to cam it.
