Re: Spare parts build

That’ll be fun. I got a little scared for you when I saw it was the (in)famous Olds 5.7 diesel. My grandparents usually drove Cadillacs that they bought when they were 2 years old. The bought a beautiful early 80s Eldorado- the original 5.7 oil burner blew up with less than 100 miles on it. Was being driven home from the dealer. The warranty engine lasted 8k miles. Grandpa bought it at that point and replaced it with an Olds gas burner and then it was great. Not sure what GM was thinking on that fiasco.
5.3 LS will be perfect. Have fun.
