I was at the garage on the base last week. Guy rolled in with a decent looking RCSS, SS wheels, nice sounding exhaust. Peaked my curiousity so I went over and asked him what he had in it. "Stock 350" Asked him if he did the swap, deer in the headlights. Wasn't happy about the fact when I told him it was a 5.3. Older guy.

Thats funny because a guy I worked with bought a used 07 regency, told everyone that it had a corvette 350 in it. I tried to correct him but he would have no part of it. He just knew it was a 350, I hooked him up with Wheatley who I think finally convinced him it was a 5.3, he tuned the truck for him and the guy rolls it a couple weeks later. Couple weeks later he was fired for being drunk on duty.

It still surprises me how many people think a 5.3 is a 350 since the gen 3 engines have been in trucks since 1999........

"Is that a Turbo or a cold air intake?" I always say cold air intake.
