Default v6 help

i was wondering if i could do anything to my motor to help it a little. I have heard that a lot of things that fit the 350 will fit mine?

Gears 4.10's work well, CAI, headers, exhaust.

I wouldn't spend to much money on a 6 unless your going to keep it for a long time. Playing with it may lead to not being able to upgrade with out taking a big loss on the parts.

LOOK IN THE SIG


A 350 will work, but why?? Find a used 5.3 or 6.0 if you want to do it..

I was looking at the original post where there is no sig.

Agree. if you want to put a v8, you want a 5.3 or 6.0. Don't bother with a 350.


Edit: unless by 350 you mean an LS1

Everyone knows an LS1 isn't a 350

hmmm LT1 if it's an OBS
