such a clean swap!

what manifolds are you using?

They're just flipped 5.3 EGR manifolds with the EGR part deleted.

Copy and paste from another forum...

So this was starting to seem like a never ending build due mostly to time constraints, but miraculously I've got my ducks in a row and am ready for a test drive next weekend. Here is how the car is looking right now. The only thing left is routing the shifter cable (which will be a chore).

I'm not sure how that filter will do but I'm going to try it anyway.

I bought HPTuners Pro and have a really good base tune to start with, so I'm just going to teach myself the rest.

Thats for sure the route i would take mine. Very clean and badass build. Im jelly.

This is the path i'm considering if I go ahead with the '7 build. The 5.3 is such a popular, mass produced, motor of the LS family that finding a donor should be easy and relatively low cost.
The bigger issue is turbo sizing and pipe layout - obviously it can be overcome but in the end I would like to keep all of the accessories.

Thanks for sharing your build!

Great looking build! Do you have a more detailed build thread over at norotors? I would love to learn more about how you put this combination together.

this setup is quite inspiring, I really like the idea of the 5.3 turbo setup.

That is so beautiful...

Stunning car. Very clean swap. ...motor bay looks great. ...polished housing was a nice touch. My only complaint is the lift kit. NEEDZ MOAR LOWE!

Interested as to how much the built block cost, i assume your doing the labor yourself?

RayX-7

That is extremely clean! I'm looking to mirror that same under hood look - when you cut your front support member to mount radiator, did it mess up the strength of the front?

Car was parted out while ago.

Hey- I didn't see in your thread, I could've missed it, but what type if front lower lip is that? And how did you run your tubes for the exhaust/turbo?

Hurley990

I'm proud of you!

What is that braided line from the radiator to a junction block on top of the motor for? Pardon my ignorance. I am about to pull the trigger on this swap and trying to learn as much as possible! Thanks
