$300 lq4 rebuild & swap
Got this motor at my machine shop the guy said it was running fine but had a nice tick to it warranty replaced it year unknown. Got it striped down everything looks fine but im not taking any chances it's goin back where I bought it from for a hot bath, bearings/rings. Plans are a Vinci trucker high lift cam, gonna use the 317s with some work, and all the other necessary ****, never got intake or TB so gonna use my 5.3. I'm worried now about the sensors where the engine was out doors for a while, and the 60e will it handle the power on a bit of a budget here so any opinions and advice will be great, by the way this is my first v-8 project mostly worked on 2-strokes before

I purchased a low lift trucker off of our classifieds, and now in getting impatient lol so Im thinking about putting the cam in my 5.3 with stock converter while I collect some more funds for the 6.0 build. Roger speced this cam for the 6.0 is it to big for my CCSB Z71

It's not too big for a 5.3, and a TON of people run it in that same engine. It will be a dog off the line with a stock converter though, especially in a truck that heavy. Are you gonna run a converter with this cam in the 6.0? If so why not pop it in there now??
P.S. this cam loves boost
