What's the consensus on the Marks engine mount brackets? I've seen some saying they were a perfect fit, some saying they had to clearance the firewall.
Are there any vibrations in drive while stopped?
I have no clearance issues with the 5.3/6L80E in my '96Personally I prefer the cast iron block in off-road situations. Not sure if I’d ever hurt an aluminum block, just like cast iron if I wanted to add power adders later on. Probably sales hype from a guy selling aftermarket performance blocks who asks if you want your crank to walk like spaghetti. Vortec from early 2010 up until the point they go to direct injection. Gotta have the 6L80 or 90 for the lower ratio. If I have to lift the body 2 inches then that works too.
From what I could find, you can only do that to certain ecus. Mines one that can’t run a cable throttle, so I’d need a new ecu and re pin the ecu plugs. Or rip it all out and go aftermarket.
I’m in Prescott valley. Anytime you’re up here hit me up!
There are guys pushing 1500 hp on aluminum factory blocks, albeit with girdles but plenty of 1200hp cars without. Even 700 is nothing on an ls.Personally I prefer the cast iron block in off-road situations. Not sure if I’d ever hurt an aluminum block, just like cast iron if I wanted to add power adders later on.

Fitech has the capability to bump up the idle when the compressor kicks on. Once I build ac lines and charge the system I’ll see how well it works.I converted mine from DBW to DBC. Not really that difficult in the grand scheme of the swap. Fitech is good stuff but not compared to all the adjustability of the GM PCM if you learn to tune it yourself with HP tuners or EFI live.
What would be cool to try is a Holly full stand alone.
Are you using the Fitech to control the a/c ?
Pretty sure the outlet of the OBD2 1fzfe airbox lid is 3.5", the GM MAF 4".What diameter is the stock air box tube?
stock toyota is like 3" and the throttle body is 4"What diameter is the stock air box tube?
will do. It's winter and temps in the 30's here now, but what I can tell you is seat of the pants feel is way better in mid rangeLet us know what the intake temps are this summer. What I like about stock system with snorkel is intake temp is pretty much always ambient +10°
How is the Coooling system performing?Here' the completed pic

What diameter is the stock air box tube?
Temp runs around 210, which is totally acceptable and normal for this engine. I am a little curious how and aftermarket aluminum rad would doHow is the Coooling system performing?
Mine is always running a little hot.
I am running the stock rad with dual fans.
