Hey guys I just got a line on a 5.3 with a rod knock, and I think it will be cheap. The intake is cracked from the engine swap but everything is there. Thunderbird and I have been toying with the idea of a 5.3 in my 83 Camaro. How hard would this be? Can I do this cheap? (like a few hundred after I buy the motor) I've already got a 350 and 700r4 I was going to install but the 5.3 already has the EFI and I think this would be better than putting a L98 top end on my 350. I really want to go EFI so what do you guys think????

Re: 5.3 retro for idiots
Yeah but the rod knock means, get crank ground, new bearing, and more likley than not a new rod, new rings (or evan new pistons + boring) also intake is good on this one. This maybe cheeper evan if the other one was given to you (but who knows this one could be just as bad at least you know what your getting)

Re: 5.3 retro for idiots
The motor I can get has all the injectors, coil packs, intake, throttle body, but I don't think it has all of the accessories. It doesn't have all the wiring or computer, but I had been thinking this would be a great way to get in to ms and learn how to tune with electronics.
