Red Headed Stepchild-75 Swinger LSX Swap

Right now that's the route I've been looking at the most. The Tanks Inc. setup is on ebay right now for around $500 shipped(550 with the GPA 6 pump I'm going to need), not $600 plus shipping like off the Tanks Inc. website. I just looked and summit has it for $450 shipped, so thank you very much for the tip off on that. I just have to verify it comes with the Tanks inc. GPA-6 pump before I order that. Nothing a quick email to customer service cant find out for me.

I'm going to go drive by cable, I feel like the drive by wire is just more crap to fail later on down the road and more issues when tuning( and I don't feel like getting the pedal and all that to go with it, I like my Mopar Pedal). I'm going to get a cable throttle body, as well as a cable drive harness and ECU off of a donor car. Should hopefully find one of those in the next week or two and I know of a way to make it run off the factory harness as well with a few things removed and the ECU being reflashed.

Tomorrow this beauty should be in had as well. ON3Performance 78/75 T4 turbo. Not much info on these other than the fact they make huge power on stock motors, and they are built with parts from the same supplier as Turbonetics, but not as high a price. I picked this one up brand new, with the polished housing for $300.

Still hoping to grab that 8.8 with the 3.73's when I get back to VA for $100, hopefully he still has it.

Currently right now on the LSX swap, my costs are listed below:
Motor - $250
Turbo Manifolds - $80
78mm Turbo - $300
Total so far - $630

I'm sorry I can't remember the intake ports on your 5.3 right now, but keep shopping Ebay for LS intakes for the ports you have. At this point it will be way less expensive than the FAST or Holley intakes and the performance difference for your power level will not be noticeable at all. I like how the 5.3 spins up. You'll have fun with it.
