Re: And so it begins..... 85 K5 5.3l

I would definitly do some research on Monster before you decide to go that route. They don't have a very good rep on a lot of the forums I'm on... Also, if you're still wanting to do a rebuild on your engine I would make a few calls to your local machine shops first and see what they charge. When I was looking in to having my 5.3 rebuilt most of the shops in my area were quoting me well over $2000 when you can get a rebuilt iron 5.7 or 6.0 short block from Thompson Motor Sports for the same or less. I don't have any experience with the aftermarket EFI setups but if time and money are an issue why not just stick with the stock one? They work really well and unless you're going for a nostalgic look I wouldn't bother with anything else...
