Tow truck drivers be like:

Definitely need a ****** for your hoe...

It may not be sick! It's just an S-truck that someone maybe just didn't complete the Bravada front clip conversion on. Maybe there's a crate LS3 under that Goodmark hood...

 

[mikeyss]

Kinda reminds me of this...

Even the tow truck driver needs to untie the steering wheel strap. Either way it’s gonna be fun to get in to put it in the shop lol.

My buddy is a skinny kid. Parking is at a premium in that lot.

Iirc it has an LS--5.3. It runs.

Buddy diagnosed a bad lifter. He wants to replace all of them since he has to pull the head for this one. Anyone have any recommendations on any good--reasonable--lifters? Any advice?

I was gonna say you can't beat the GM LS7 lifters for the price. I bought a full set of them with new GM trays back in March for $122. Now they're sold out and the cheapest set of the genuine GM lifters is around $170 for just the lifters. It looks like it's all the knock-offs that are half that price. Had I known that wasn't a normal deal, I would've bought two sets.

LS7 lifters are what you want to use.

Damn. Sorry to hear it Tony. At least they’ll all be new now.!

Sorry to hear it’s not a cheap fix Tony. If it were me, I’d go with OE AC Delco even though they’re twice the price of the knock-offs. You obviously don’t want this happening again.
