Re: Did I mess up?
I can't believe how some people get wrapped up in the "ZOMGCORVETTEPARTS!!!!!11" thing.
Good work on passing. LS1 is old news. Even corvette guys are putting iron truck motors in their rigs when they wanna go really fast with boost

Re: Did I mess up?
The friend I have doing the body work when I have money has a seized up4.8/5.3 he said I could have for 200 bucks. Is that a good deal? I think I want to go bigger than a 5.3 though. I will do some towing, lots of deer hunting in it. I was hoping to get around 15mpg when all is said and done. That's why I was thinking corvette, if I could get 350 horse with 15 mpg I would be tickled pink. I have been thinking going with the 6.0 backed up by a NV4500, or get a gear splitter on the 4 speed. Is 15mpg out question with a 6.0. I don't need anything radical either, relatively stock is just fine.
My wife and I are going to refinance our house to do our kitchen and maybe a bathroom, so I told her I was going to take out some more to put into the suburban, it is only going to appreciate right. The crazy part was she said okay so I have to get it done before she changes her mind, haha. Thanks for all the responses, everyone has been great. Cheers |
