After 20 long years I finally bought my first 3rd gen Camaro. I have a 1990 G92 Z28. I'm going to be swapping in a 5.3/T56 combo. I look forward to making friends here and also showing my build as I go. It's a roller for now so I'm going completely throughout the car. Any advice and input would be appreciated.

Welcome and enjoy your new F-body!

If by 5.3 you mean the vortec I would take a look at LS options and if possible go there. A lot more aftermarket support.

ASE doc

The 5.3(327CID) is an LS based engine. It's the widely used smaller engine in GM trucks and full size SUVs.

That would be the LM7, 5.3, 327ci, LS engine. Hot rod did a cool turbo budget build. 800 hp for under 2k

Thanks, I didn't remember the engine code. I just know I see alot of those engines. Unless ordered with the 6.0, pretty much every GM truck and full size after 99 got the 5.3. I don't know about squeezing 800hp out of one. I guess it would be fun for a minute or two before it comes apart. Sounds like something the crazies at Hotrod would do.

LS based generation, but it's not an LS motor

Edit: my mistake I guess technically it is considered an LS motor
