Rebelord Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 The 4.8 is the same size as a LS1,2 5.3 6.0 6.2 etc. With the effort to put a 5.3 in. If you can find a 6.0 out of a wrecked Escalade. That would be hoss. All aluminum and 400hp. Even out of a GTO or G8 would work. But ppl jack up the price on those. The truck intakes are probably to tall. But putting a LSx car intake would work. Even a stock LS1/6 intake on a 5.3 would work. The main difference to remember is the truck blocks are mostly iron whereas the cars are aluminum except the Escalade 6.x.

Zraver Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Just a noob question, I assume you have the VG30 engine, why not get a turbo manifold off of a zx? Add bigger injectors off of a 1975 Mercedes, inter-cooler and a few other mods and you can make 400hp at the wheels. I know I did it in a 1988 300zx SS. The VG30 is bullet proof as long as you do required maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 There was a guy who twin-turbo'd a WD21. It looked like a tight squeeze (and a fair bit of custom work I'm sure) but he made it work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8path Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 No, not crazy. A lot of work I'm sure you're aware. V8path (I think) on here shoehorned a tune-port 350 in his with a straight axle swap. Its a LT1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
