    EXTREMELY common as well, Chevy Express vans, and Silverados/Sierras fill the junkyards all day and usually still have a good engine, hard to kill it. Mainly because the rev limiter is set to 5600 RPM and the actual redline of the engine is 7700 so you literally can’t wear it out. It’s normally the transmission that dies before anything else in those trucks

    There is a build on a 4.8 l that hot rod did way back in the day now probably 10 11 years. They took a 4.8 and gapped the stock rings and dingle ball honed the cylinders. They thought they had a 5.3 until they popped the heads off and found FLAT TOP PISTONS . They already had the cheapest 400-500 dollar twin turbo set they could find on eBay. On the dyno the final number was like 1645 HP and around 800 lb ft . The impressive thing was they proceeded to put 78 more full onion pulls on this thing before it crapped a rod out 😳

If you watch that kind of racing you have scene KCmax in the black firebird. Dude was stomping people with his big block hemi but due to money, weight, and how much the street can take he went to a 5.3l and stomped everybody many times in many races with that motor.

    They got some 4.8 and 5.3 blocks with casting numbers on them that say "4.8/5.3/6.0" on them, and u can bore them out to a 6.0. If you bore the 5.3 out to 3.902, and add a 4inch stroke, with upgraded 6.20 inch rods, u can make a 383, so now u just turned a 5.3 into a 6.3 liter engine. Idk how well it will hold to boost, boreing the walls out that wide, but i know naturally aspirated, thing makes power

    It's not going to live too long at 700+ RWHP on the stock internals. The crankshafts, and rods are all cast IIRC, and tend to be reliable up to around 550 RWHP. Once you get above 650 RWHP , then the stock internals start looking really sketchy, and you should probably rebuild it with forged stuff. There's always the guys with the 253k mile van engine and the cheapest ebay twin turbo kit imaginable that will runs dirty 9's at the strip for the afternoon, but realistically won't last more than 2k miles before it grenades itself.

    • @isidrosevier1125

      Get an LSA crankshaft for about $600-$700 a set of summit LS pistons and a nice set of rods and your good to go for about $2000 + the engine itself and a little machine work.
