Plans made for the 5.3
Bought some 243 heads off an LS2. Gonna mill them down and use some thinner gaskets, aiming for around 10:1 or slightly higher compression with a cam package from Texas Speed, deciding between the 224r, 224/228, and 228r. Will be on 112 LSA more than likely.
Need to start the wiring soon! Got the new frame mounts on, front clip mostly off. Will post pics soon!
