I just pulled out my 350 used crate motor and want something better. Here is an image:

I found the following:

19244096 - GM Performance Parts LS327 Deluxe Crate Engine from Jegs. I have a new tremic 5 speed and new rear end 12 bolt with 3.73's. Would this be a good start for someone who wants to burnout every now and then?

Here is a link to the site:

My other choice would be a 383!

Any guidance would be appreciated!

i am running a carbd 5.3 in my 69 camaro. runs really good to me. alot of poeple will say go with a 6.0 and you cant go wrong with one, but the 5.3 will do a great job. You could piece one together cheaper, but it just depends on how much leg work you want to do.

I think the 5.3 is a great power plant! You can crank em up to 375 pretty easy. I have been getting a lot of LS motors over the past few months and really have my choice of anything. Im putting a 5.3 in my 67 convertible camaro and a 6.2 in my 70 camaro. I get the complete drop out 5.3 motors so cheap compared to anything else...its a no brainer for a budget LS swap. Hope that helps:thumbsup:
