Where did you get a deal on the LS Set up , I need another one ?

Local...Douglasville
Was a complete dropout...harness, all accessories, CPU
I saw the truck it came out of.

Pulled the heads...cylinder still had crosshatch hone marks.



I'll keep an eye out for you...anything special ??

I've still got intake, TB, exhaust manifolds, harness, and CPU if you can use them.

Im just looking for a complete drop out 5.3 with trans that I can drop in a truck as is , no more than 150000 miles . We usually get a new stand alone harness , we use stainless headers made for c10 trucks but everything else I would use .

Those are some really nice valve covers/coil brackets Bill.

FYI - to anyone interested, I have a 68k mile Gen 4 short block 4.8L out of my friend's 2013 Silverado. He only took it out to go bigger. I am thinking of getting some heads and making it a complete long block. Going to sell it before I buy another car/truck to stick it in.

Those 4.8L are desirable...power adder guys love the flat top pistons.
And the shorter stroke...

I have offered it to people for $200. They all want a 6L for $200. :rolleyes:

This is a Gen IV with the beefier block and rods with full floating pins.

Dang...if we were a little closer, I'd buy it just to have on hand.

Bill , what all would I need to LS the Malivert ? I know a different tank ,LS engine and trans , motor mounts , possibly radiator , stand alone harness , am I missing anything other than fuel lines and exhaust items ?

I used the Holley 302-2 oil pan and pickup...tons of steering & chassis clearance on the Camaro.
Guys recommending using this pan in Chevelles too.

And by using the truck accessories (PS, Alt, A/C) I had to buy relocation brackets to clear the Camaro's narrow sub-frame.
I bought the complete fuel system from Tanks Inc...direct replacement fuel tank, in tank Walbro pump, gas gauge 90 ohm sending unit, Corvette style return regulator, fuel lines & fittings.
Even included new hanger straps and filler neck.

All said and done...this $600 engine & trans will cost another $3500 by the time it up and running.
But,I did do a cam change, valve job, and bought a stand alone aftermarket injection $ystem.

BTW...if you find a deal on just an engine...it will mate to your existing TH350

Bill ,my Malibu has a 700R already in place .
