Starting here: I'm removing the 302Ci small block in my Vair and installing an iron block 5.3 LS engine. The 302Ci is great as a racing engine which it's built for but not as fun on the street with 3:27 gears and no low end torque to help.
Picked up an '02 5.3 engine/harness/computer and I'll be keeping the EFI on this.
I have an extended pilot bushing and a thicker Mcleod flywheel to use my existing bellhousing and clutch system.
ICT Billet motor mounts and an alternator and water pump only serpentine belt bracket setup.
