it's time for Jack's car to get some lovin. the wee-oh-five/700r4 gave up the ghost about a year ago. jack took his time to figure out a solid solution. we spent countless nights talking about different combos, whether to go with a gen I sbc with an upgraded tpi setup, or to go gen III.
well, it just so happens that we found a 5.3 about 9 months ago or so on craigslist. through some horse trading, the 5.3 ended up being mine. after some more horsetrading, jack ended up with it. it's a stock 5.3 shortblock, and someone along the lines fitted it with some 317 heads. so it's down on compression from the get go, but has a bit better flow. i'd imagine the hp numbers are probably simliar to stock.
a long time (felt like an eternity) elapsed before we started doing anything. jack slowly acquired pieces parts (and still is, thanks brian!). then last week, we found a big piece to the puzzle. a 4l60e that was working when pulled.
at the moment, i only have a handful of pictures, but i'll post what i have. i will be sure to post up as many pictures as i can get of this deal. jack is really having a blast doing this too.
