I agree. You can make crazy power with small cubes and a turbo. Look at the Supras and Grand Nationals. The name of the thread is "5.3 build it or not". I will bow out of this one.

i agree with the guy talkin about tha stock crank... its not goin any where.. the journals are bigger than a 400 crank if im not mistaken... just port tha hell outta those 5.3 heads cause they will flow like crazy if ported well.. keep compression down.. i would use some good forged pistons and rods.. good headers.. as long as that puppy can flow with the blower it will be all good.
