Re: Since Yezzi posted his before and after engine bay picture

Nice work! LO5 TBI 5.7L’s were always nice and tidy looking engines not to mention dirt reliable and super easy to repair. I pulled the L05 out of my Suburban a few years ago as it needed a clutch and the engine needed resealed badly. It cleaned up really nice when it was done. Ran like a top too but unfortunately, it didn’t have near enough gonads to adequately propel a big Suburban here at high altitude so the LO5 was replaced with something more substantial. I still have the LO5 for some future project as well as access to a 292 I6 for a future project that either would mate nicely to a NV3500 5 speed that has been loitering around the garage for some time.
