A friend of mine asked if I would change the engine out in 97 GMC
I went and got it and here's what he wants.
A nicely built 5.3 LS taken out and a 488 BBC installed.
I was baffled by the backwards move (in my opinion). What had happened was a local shop tuned the 5.3 for him and the charge was over $500 and he didn't feel like it had made much difference so he wanted to go back to a carbureted engine [S I could not talk him into putting a carburetor on the LS, he was so soured on it.
Sorry for this bad pic
