    How much more power can a 5.3L make without hurting road manners or gas mileage?

    I don't disagree with you about boost. I love boosted stuff. Durrty Thurrty? Boost. LowBurb? Boost. Busa? Boost. Merc S55 I sold in December? Boost. Car I'll buy next? Boost. I have a forced induction problem...

    How much more power can a 5.3L make without hurting road manners or gas mileage?

    That build has over 2k in parts before he even boosted it. Bang for the buck you can't beat an LS. Sure, you can do other stuff, stuff that might even be cooler than an LS, but in terms of HP/$ a modded LS will win every time.

    Where to buy tires

    That's disappointing to hear. I agree their website is total shìt, but it was worth it because their service and pricing was good.

    Where to buy tires

    I've always had good experiences with simple tire, but haven't used them in a few months. Have things changed?

    '89 GMC 'Burb grill swap questions

    It's not an LS, it uses some LS tech, (firing order, coil near plug, cathedral port heads, etc) but it's a big block. Take one apart and you'll see what I mean. Architecture is definitely not LS style. LS motors make power through revs, the 8.1 is a big, lazy, stump puller. Japanese and Euro...

    Thanks. I wish I had answers for you, but my buddy who passed away traded for it already swapped. He was a great mechanic, all I ever did was hand him tools and provide comic relief. I'm happy to take pictures of anything if you think that'd help.

    This is funny. I moved here from Los Angeles, and you did the opposite, I grew up in Pasadena. I'm on the opposite side of the state from Red Bud, and a little further south. I'm guessing you lived in the Alton area. That plumbing is the LMM in the crew cab. The Burb engine bay is empty, the...

    New to this site, not new to trucks. Picked up a couple of squares from the widow of a good friend, a dummy low 81 Burb with a 96mm turbo big block, and an 81 CCLBD with an LMM/6L90 combo. Both are in various states of repair, both need quite a bit of love, butttttttt....they're gonna be killer...

    What did you pay for a square

    $1500 a few months ago. Rusty and crusty 87 TBI 350/700r4 but runs and drives good, looks way better dropped.

    '89 GMC 'Burb grill swap questions

    I graduated high school in 88, in southern California, and was hooked with the first lowered OBS I saw. I bought a dropped 95 crew cab dually in 96, that was the first of many for me. Had several 800's and still have a couple. They look good dropped as well. Guess it's just what we like.

    I'm right there with ya, not much I like after the 800's. I can't decide on just one body style, so I have a 800, a 400, and squares.

    81+ grilles all swap As long as you have the core support and lighting you're good to go. Everything unbolts. The 73-80 swap is more involved, but still quite easy. Witness this 91:

    This is the only one I have, it belonged to a close friend who passed away about 18 months ago. I bought it from his widow to keep it in the circle. It's low on my list, but it will get some love eventually.
