Was thinking about an RB swap but since it came with ls1 mounts and I had an aluminum 5.3 sitting around I'm going to be going that route.
Some pics

Bolted down the fenders and set the hood on just so they wouldn't be in the way

Interior is gutted waiting on installing the cage. Dash is just sitting in there in this pic

Tearing into the 5.3 here, it's getting full forged internals, cam, rockers, and some head work to start

Why the forged internals? Because of this

Garage is pretty full at the moment

Those of you with keen eyes might notice the stripped Sr20 on the stand in the background, and if you're really looking might notice the sr20ve on the floor beside it. That hybrid is going in my other car

It used to have a bored and stroked 11:1 fully built l series but that thing was a bastard on the street. Full suspension and driveline has already been done on it, pretty much ever nut and bolt besides cosmetics haha.
Did some more small stuff, decided to throw the bumper and lights on just to make me feel like theres some actual progress on the go.

Also got ahold of a front sump pan and notched crossmember

Glitter because why not

Want to get the cage put in soon but not looking forward to that bill lol
Anyway glad to be apart of the forum and look forward to learning lots
