There's enough room in the back of a van to permanently install a stereo system of such proportion that you could pop your own head from the pressure whilst driving. ...and that is something I'd like to do in life (death?).

I wasn't sure what a Vortec was exactly so I googled it and saw this gem: WHAT SIZE ENGINE IS A 5.3 LITER?!?!?! Well...I would guess it's 5.3 liters.

I am jealous of your small yet large V8s. Cramming a DOHC motor in that engine bay would mean sacrificing the supercharger, which is a pretty horrible thing to do.

I'm convinced that GM has struck a deal with Satan to allow them to make pushrod V-8s that have power outputs that rival the most technologically advanced 32-valve motors out there. Not to mention you can squeeze them into drat near anything. Maybe Satan gave them the motors in exchange for 90's cheap plastics and the Cavalier/Cobalt?

I always thought the 5.3lt would be 327ci, considering it is a classic Chevy V8 size The only LS to hit a "classic" displacement is the LS7, and they fudged it a bit because it's something like 427.9 cubic inches and they can't possibly call a Chevy engine a 428. The LS1/LS6 are 346 cubic inches, not the good old tree-fiddy.

That's just loving retarded, especially since 6.0L is 366 cubic inches, not 350. That's not even close. Calling a 5.7 a 350 is retarded, but nowhere near as retarded as calling a 6.0 a 350. SPEAKING OF WHICH Who is up for some junkyard trolling? I might make a scouting run this weekend if I have a chance. Likely Worcester, Cumberland, and Johnston. Might hit Blackstone too.

If I aim for 6-7, I might make it there for 8... doesn't matter what order the yards are in as far as I'm concerned, you wanna start closer and end up further from home or vise versa?

Look, you dumbarses chose the imperial system, loving stick to it. Dont be all english and mix the two up just for shits and giggles.... I wonder how many people in the USA hear 6.0L and then spend the rest of the day trying to get their head around the concept of a "Litre"
