I have gotten a couple mixed numbers so wanted to get it from the source.
I just dynoed my truck and got some good numbers I think for "stock" with 282 rwhp/304 rwtq. Anyway I was a bit leary of too many changes since it runs so good but my plan is to install the 220/220 cam I have and mill and clean up the heads some to get my compression up. I will of course change the springs while there.
What felpro head gaskets do I need the motor is 2002 5.3.
What head bolts?
What other gaskets (or set) do I need to do this swap? this is not my DD and with the snow coming again I will tear it down but I wanted things in order before I started.
Also to support these mods and all should I look at new injectors. Are the 8.1 that are the direct fit are they 30s and the marine ones 42?
Any other thoughts would be great...
Thanks
Dave

Hey, I actually just made a list of everything needed to do my head/cam swap. Its in my truck but i have felpro part numbers for the headgaskets,timing cover gasket,valve cover gaskets, and intake gaskets. the list is for a 2000 but I'm 98% sure everything is identical between the 2. also you may want to contact Patriot performance >>>>>>
they carry GM head bolts for $25 and may other odds and ends for great prices. I can post up my list in the morning if your interested.

2002wdchevy if it is not too much trouble that would be great. But yes I will call Patriot Perfmance or maybe Texas speed. I think they both have a kit put together, I just found out...
Thanks again
