    You can easily do a 383 with the 5.3 no problem. Can even use stock 6.098" Gen 4 rods with a 4" crank with the right pistons. Are you...

    Ive used the 17233 along with a Vibrant resonator in a S10 with 5.3 and it was very nice and tame with a nice sound. I have the 17235...

    I buy 100 of these at a time. Use them for everything and work good for exhaust manifold bolts. Pretty cheap too for a 10.9 bolt...

    I usually go for the 5.3s since they are half the price of the 6.0s here. And boost doesn't care about engine size. A 78mm turbo can...
