im hoping around 375 rwhp..you know, i wasnt to fond of the color, but i couldnt pass it up for a clean, low mile truck. the shortbed single cab 2wd v8 trucks are rare around here and this one was local. so i grabbed it up. but its starting to grow on me. i think blacking some stuff out might make it look good.

well after pulling the heads off, i found out my trucks a 4.8, not a 5.3 as far as ive tore this thing down, im starting to just think of finding a 6.0 short block and throwing it in there.

oh yeah, the 4.8 is a good engine. but it has its limits. i want to run a N/A setup and the 4.8 just doesnt have what it takes to make N/A power. im on the look out for a 6.0 shortblock now. as far as ive torn this engine down. itll be a breeze pulling out the block and replaceing it with a 6.0
