Sounds like a cool project; those 5.3 are great motors. I was really impressed by how much power they make with just a cam change and set of headers.1 Corinthians 1:27

Headers O.K., but be very, very conservative with the cam when running an overdrive transmission. You can easily ruin the whole combination with too much cam. Stay at 204 degrees or less on the intake, such as 204/214 on a 114 degree lobe separation angle.

Very true; I used GM's cam from the LS6 with the matching springs. Great street manners and great off the line power. Originally Posted by techinspector1

The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
