Thanks
No No, I upgraded my Z to a 2.8L engine awhile back, I am seriously thinking of a Chevy V8 conversion for it and a 5.3 would be a good choice
been done many times in the Z world. This is what's in my Z

As far as my Tahoe goes, it is just a stock 2001 with a 5.3 with 140k on the engine runs great, but the tranny had to be replaced just before I moved up to the central valley CA, and from what I am told, the rear main seal shoulda been replaced at that time, but wasnt sigh..I didn't know, or think to ask. Now it is leaking fairly bad, but 2 years later but the trans is working great. I did have a scary problem happen with it while moving up here, who ever owned it before me, had replaced the front swaybar links/bushings and had bought the WRONG kit somehow, which was shorter and barely allowed the sway to clear the tie rod below it , it had slowly scraped it over and over whenever the vehicle suspension compressed on a bump, and I NEVER heard it scraping like you would think. The ONLY reason I did find out about it was because my hub and bearing went out and I saw it then, the tie rod had grinded HALF way through the sway bar by then. Bought a junkyard sway bar and a new proper link kit and all is good now
