1st ride, ls
The 1 st ride was really sweet...don't beat on the new clutch, go easy....After the clutch hooked, drop the hammer, about 1/2 down...that fing stock 5.3, took that old longhorn side ways! YEE HAW! The 1st ride, is allways the sweetest

Re: 1st ride, ls
Sounds great man, can't wait till i get my 5.3 in, trying to figure out how to mate up my nv3500 to it for now. What engine did you have in it previously?

Re: 1st ride, ls
The former engine , was a mild 383 build...but I got tired of the fuel cost? The old 383, is in my bro's S-10, running 12.7's on the track
I am sure that I gave up some power upstairs, but the 5.3 pulls like stink , right off idle....will be fun/spunky street ride with the 6spd box Longhorn

Re: 1st ride, ls
Don't underestimate yourself on the power. I forget your exact setup, but even with a simple tune you should be at the 320-330's, which is what I find MANY older 355-383 level builds considered "good" power.
These engines also FEEL slower, because of the throttle response. They are much smoother, and you never get the "whoooooaaaaaaaa" when the power enrichment-thingy in carbs goes open. If you wanna feel even slower, put big tires on the back (you'll run faster, but feel slower).

Re: 1st ride, ls
She is a rock /stock 5.3 long block (fresh grind + LS-6 springs). I am running carbureted(600 edelbrock, on an rpm intake....figure , that it is what it is (about 300hp)? Hooker streetrod shorties/mandrel bent downs....2 1/2" pipe, all the way out/H pipe/50's flows. The 6 spd Richmond box (3.28 1st gear), is backed with 3.40 gears in the rear. Longhorn

Re: 1st ride, ls
Sounds nice! Google LS327 on youtube the HotRod guys dyno a LS327 with a 650 carb and manifold. Made around 347 hp or something like that.
