Head & Cam for 5.3 & Radix?
Plan A is a 402 w/cam & heads etc.
Plan B is a 6.0 bored .060 over w/cam & heads etc.
Plan C is to put a cam & heads on my 5.3 w/Radix.
The problem with plans A & B is a place to work. My garage just isn't big enough to support pulling an engine etc and I don't have access to another place that is equipped to pull an engine/trans. These conditions caused Plan C to be born.
Any idea how much hp/torgue can be gained from a good cam & heads on the 5.3?
Thanks, Jim

1/8 best 8.98 1/4 best 13.99 - 5.3 with Lunati Voodo cam @ .050 duration 212/218 lift .531/.531, HP Tuners s/ware, MSD LS1 coils and wires, 4.10 locker, Fast 78mm t/body, Cold air intake, elec cooling fans, Edelbrock headers, and ET street slicks. Factory heads as of now and factory injectors. Look at Patroit Performance for heads and cam setup for around $1500.00. Note with any of the aftermarket heads clearence becomes a issue
with r flattop pistons. Im still debating to build a 6.0 or another 5.3 and bore out to 3.898?
