Betcha I got inside info. A certain individual called me today at work and I happened to be covering parts at the time. I've got to get the pricing figured out with my Parts manager, but safe to say there will be a wooden box coming soon.

I priced out some leftover parts of a 6.0 short block and a complete 5.3. Swap the 6.0 block with the cam and heads of the 5.3 is actually one of the best lower rpm tq numbers of any LS package. Was $2000 in used parts (but included harness and manifolds) and another $2500 in machine work (yes I actually called)
A 408 stroker would make tq
Not once but twice in 4 months and the trans blew a few days after that.
Fun read for aftermarket FI users

So are you going to install a serpentine belt system too????
Well I know that you would do that for the man cards, but I was wondering about the water pump. I know that you probably have a wussy alternator, but maybe there would be an upgrade. .
I have a 100A alternator. I’ll have accessory holes now, send me a serp kit
WHAT?????
When did you step up????
Lol!!!!
I have my spare '90 K5 here....plus another one on the '72....
I might not have enough to spare....

Pretty sure v-belts ain't gonna cut it with whats coming down the pipeline. Just saying.
Can't we help him install a throttle stop to keep it below 3K where he has been looking for torque?????
Never know he could be completely retrograding a LS to look like a small block.
Something along these lines maybe... But with V-belts.

The retro LS is cool but I think it defeats the modern look to go with the engine base.
Shoot. Didn't realize I linked a photobucket photo. My plug-in to Chrome allows me to still see them.
It's a big block!!
It's a block alright. And it's inbound via truck freight from Michigan as we speak. I'm betting this time next week. Then Mark's got to point that 77 south to Canon to pick up said block, inside a crate of wood. He said he'd swing by and see his parents on the way home too. He's such a nice boy that Mark.
