New job, revisiting ideas
Well first off I have a new part time job working at a machine shop, learning how to use all the tools of the trade for engine building and that has led me to revisiting an experiment I've was going to do once before. Since I have a plethora of available 4.8/5.3 parts I am thinking of assembling one or two 5.0L LSX engines and putting them into hock as spares for the T/A. I'm thinking high revving, high compression motors probably into the 430+HP range and VERY budget friendly and I am willing to bet wickedly durable. Only hurdle I am running into right now is finding pistons, which probably have to be custom made, everything else is readily available. It will be a slow process as money is tight but with the machining tools to do the block and crank will really help out budget wise.

well you could use a 6.0 block and a 4.3 crank and make a 327 then use a set of L92 heads it would suck on the low end but I bet you could rev the piss out of it

Would make more power but with the added cost I doubt nick would. He gets those 4.8's and 5.3's CHEAP
