High Perf Crate Engines?

[Easytide]

I have a 2000 Silverado 1500. With the exception of a grumbly rear @ around 140k,,which i rebuilt then eventualy replaced , the truck has almost 260k flawless miles on it. It still runs excellent,doesnt use oil,ect , But i know the laws of probability will eventually catch up. I am going to keep this truck and restore it as needed. My queston is,Is there a HP replacement engine available for the 5.3 T? I,m from old school..older engines i know...these.not so much. I,m a bit hesitant to change the type of motor since this one has been so reliable, but a wee bit more boat pulling power would be nice. Any Suggestions?

Do a search on 5.3 crate motors. You will get a lot of results. I believe there is a 332hp version out as well.

i know you want to stay with the 5.3, but if your looking for some extra for pulling a boat, at some point you may want to look into the 6L-LQ9 motor. rated at 345 HP and 380 TQ.

 

good luck..

Fantastic,,,exactly what i was looking for. I have done tons of engine searches and this never came up. Possibly operator error. Thank you

Yeah, they do... it's called the 6.0L. It bolts right in

After some transmission upgrades.

How much more power do you want? And how much do you want to spend?

Wow..looks like a nasty engine eh?. I,m not looking to cheap out...or go broke either. I,m looking at this way.. Truck still looks and drives great...so..10 or 12 Gs equals another 5-6 years and some fun....and i,m still way ahead of a new payment book. I drive ALLOT and often north of the border...so...cheap crapppy rebults are out of the question. Thanks for the link. def something to think about
