Re: my 5.3 ls swap video

Nice job! That thing has a mean idle! Is that running through exhaust or dumped?

Im jealous of those front brakes. I remember when just swapping a set of LS1 brakes was the best upgrade haha. What size wheels do you need to clear those?

Also...I have to say. I kind of dig that gas door since its body color. A lot of guys leave them brushed steel or black/silver. I like how integrated it looks!

Cant wait to see this one finished up and on the road!

Re: my 5.3 ls swap video

hey thanks guys means a lot to me to hear good feedback!! the exhaust is back to the axle with mufflers on, but I will finish out through the rear, the wheels are 18x10.5 rear and 18x9.5 front shell soon see the road, waiting on my seats getting done!
