Im doing the 2.3 to 5.0 swap right now. Tearing the 2.3 out (have my 5.0 torn apart to the block) Im going to have it cleaned and checkd for cracks tomrw.
While the motor is OUT of the car, what upgrades should i be looking into doing? Is boring and miling and all that worth the money??? Also i want this to MAINLY be a street crusier with a lil horsepower. any ideas on best cam? or any other parts? any help would be awesome. THANKS.

 

I would say if you have the moneyz then go for it. There's no replacement for displacement!

If not going to drive it too competitively, then I wouldn't worry about it. I think you could probably get the performance you're looking for from an h/c/i among other things. Even just boring it to restore compression wouldn't be a bad idea.

 

i want it to be a lil fast lol, my brother has a 02 Z28 built LS1 and yea.. i wanna keep up a lil, friends all have cobras,mustangs etc.

 

I just want to do what i can, while the motor and EVERYTHING is out of the car.. even if i have to wait a lil longer b4 dropping it all in.
