I gotcha, sorry I misread that.

Well buying an ls1 then h/c/I is another 1500 on top of the motor, with gaskets, timing chain, lifters...

To turbo the 5.3 you could use an s475 turbo and the hotside is about $500, upgrade the fuel pump, use stock 5.3 heads, and a tick turbo can or an LJMS stage 2 boost cam.

You'll be almost the same with more power with the turbo.

I'm just giving ideas by the way, if you would rather me not,that's fine. If you have any other questions I'll be more than happy to help.

As far as the guy talking about junkyard warriors, I've been in the LS game a while, I have built a couple and am currently building one from the ground up so I tgink I might be a valid source of info.
