Re: New guy with 52 AD project.

I have these wires on My 5.3 with headers and they touch the headers. 45 is at the coil.

You have which wires, the GM wires or MSD 32829? The rep I spoke with at MSD said their plug wire boot is straight but will bend to a 45 degree angle and stay at a 45.

Re: New guy with 52 AD project.

Well, I took care of the plug wire rubbing the header issue. I purchased the MSD wires that can be bent at the plug boot. I also got the down pipes TIG welded (stainless exhaust) and the O2 bungs installed. I also installed the X pipe and laid out the exhaust and mufflers. I installed the PSI stand alone wiring harness today and sent the ECU off yesterday to be re-flashed (reprogrammed). I hope to have if fired up next weekend if all goes well.

Re: New guy with 52 AD project.

Have you figured out which throttle cable you're going to use. The 36" stock one I got with my engine didn't quite reach.

Re: New guy with 52 AD project.

I am installing an 04 5.3L into a 55 (2nd series) suburban and have been looking for a radiator. I found your build and think that may have taken care of my radiator search. Where did you get the fan mounting straps? Those are really nice.

Are your radiator inlet and outlet connections for the stock radiator hose diameter or for the LS1?

What type of fuel pump are you using? In the tank or external?
