Tahoe LS1 build
 

Well starting to get it together now, pics will be forthcoming but here is the breakdown of the core pieces, I've decided to go with pretty much all off the shelf GM parts to keep cost down and yes I know I can make more power blah blah blah but this is just a replacement engine with a little more power, not looking for huge numbers on my DD! Anyway here is the breakdown

2002 LS1 shortblock
317 Truck heads (looking for 87 octane!)
LQ9 camshaft
Trickflow Chromoly pushrods
GMPP high volume oil pump
LS2 HD timing chain
electric fan swap kit
GMPP LS1 Plug wires
NGK's

have an 03 5.3 coming in Monday with 29K on, going to steal all the electronics off of it to replace all my sensors and such

Shortblock is torn down and waiting to go to the machine shop now, if it gets a clean bill of health I'll start getting the other pieces.

**Edit** supposed to be "Tahoe" engine build, the Taheo engine is still good ;)

y not go with 6.0 and tell every one its a 4.8

Sounds like fun as usual with you!

I knew it wouldn't take long to hear what I should of done, lol. No real point to paying for a 6.0 when i already had access to an aluminum 5.7 for next to nothing, I am not going to be maxing out the potential of either engine so the lighter more fuel efficient engine is a better fit for what I want

thats a pretty sweet build

yeah man i agree for a DD id keep it simple and fuel efficient as possible!! Keep us posted and get some PICSSSS UP!!!! for fuck sake!!!

I was thiking the 60 would have been a cheaper route up hear they are quiet a bit less than a ls1

Already had the LS1 though, or you would be correct, I can get a 6.0 for about $800, and an LS1 will be at least $1500.00

Sweet build! Whatcha doin with the rest of the 5.3?

It's got 100K on it, probably just part it out
