5.3 Chevy Conversion

Featured Replies

My brother just informed me of 2 Chevy 5.3 motors complete with EVERYTHING from gas pedal to radiator, tranny, etc, with 60,000 miles on them. Cars were used in movie productions and after the movie were removed from Suburbans. $1000 each. What do you guys think? I've had several v8 cars and was very impressed. I hear these motors are 320 HP stock with alot of room for improvement just by tuning. Would this be an option instead of worrying about my tripple weber tuning issue? Can do the conversion myself. I'm just contemplating the cost of tuning the webers(and finding someone capable of doing it), possibly selling the webers for several hundred dollars to offset the $1000? Anyway, your opions would be most appreciated.

You may want to ask at the other site Hybrid z cars. They do alot more swaps on that site. Here we are more into keeping the l6 and our cars original. Good luck!
