LOL, he owns the body shop I use all the time, and he said you should get that 5.3 motor out of that Z71 out side and put it in there...I already made money on parting that truck out so you can have it... now i have a decision to make...

Thanks Wiggles!

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-11-2010, 02:43 AM

IDK, I'd almost have to put the big block back in it if it were mine.

^^^^^ This. Put the 5.3 in the burb

justpball · 12-11-2010, 07:23 PM

^^^I think thats what I have decided to do, want to get this thing back on the road! So 454 back in and start slowly building the 5.3 for the burb

Driveway Dreams · 12-12-2010, 02:27 AM

Perfect decision. That crew is just right with a BBC in it. But...the Burb will go to the next level with the 5.3. Smoothed & painted engine covers. MmmmmHmmmm.

justpball · 12-12-2010, 10:34 PM

Here is a pic of the motor

WillieloRidez · 12-13-2010, 11:07 AM

That looks sweet man!!!! Did you happen to put a cam in it while it was out?

WigglesTheHoly · 12-13-2010, 11:30 AM

(sorry had to do it first thing that came to mind)

call your insurance company and tell them someone stole your wheels and send them up here to me after they replace them.

what color is that motor? what did you use?

justpball · 12-14-2010, 04:50 PM

It is called burnt copper, it is VHT product, high temp paint, I got it at oriellys auto parts

Thats a great lookin truck!

justpball · 12-18-2010, 11:06 PM

It is starting to look like a motor again

Driveway Dreams · 12-19-2010, 12:32 AM

I like the contrast of the Copper with the aluminum and cast gray colors. Very classy combo. Would be awesome in an all black engine bay.

justpball · 12-19-2010, 09:21 AM

i really would like to find a smaller alt bracket, that thing is huge!

bigblock73 · 12-19-2010, 11:09 AM

If you weren't running a serp setup, I would suggest Alan Grove brackets, they are low mount and virtually invisible when the hood is open.

joe231 · 12-19-2010, 11:14 AM

technically that isn't a serpentine, it is a ribbed belt/v-belt combo.
An actual serpentine set up would be a bit smaller and cleaner. There is a kit out there that allows you to run a small block serpentine set up on a big block. If you are interested I can find out who has it.....

justpball · 12-19-2010, 03:53 PM

Cool Joe, any info would be great

They tell you everything you will need to complete the kit.

baclay9 · 12-19-2010, 04:08 PM

Your engine is beautiful by the way. Is that grey a high heat paint as well. I would like to do my block that color.
