There is nothing about that video that gives any sensation of an improvement in any capacity. Without knowing that it was a V8 swap, it was just another loud car.
The angle was such that I didn't really pay attention. Thank you (sincerely) for pointing that out.

Do the seals, the thing's ready for another 100,000 miles. The iron-block truck versions are plentiful and therefore cheap, only 65 # heavier than aluminum-block, and 4.8L versions are going for $300, 5.3L are around $500, and 6.0L starts at $800. '07-up have better heads and beefier rods, but most are 58x rather than 24x (crank reluctor) But don't use pre-'01. In fact, every one of mine have been '01s. The early 4.8s are good to 7500 RPM with appropriate valvetrain upgrades. All are safe past 6500 RPM. Try to get #799 or #243 heads if getting a later 5.3, and the later 6.0L heads may have the rectangular-port (intake) heads that flow better but reduce off-idle torque. That's the way to go for cost-effective NA power. Combining LSx power with 4-cylinder gearing is a fail, plan on a T56, or a T5-WC from an '88-'92 Camaro V8 if NA 4.8L, ( TBI was 0.63:1 fifth, TPI was o.73:1, but 0.59:1 and HD 0.80:1 both exist) and for differential gearing, if your Toy / Sub diff doesn't offer a ratio around 3.5:1, then plan on an aluminum Ford 8.8" from a mid-'00s Shelby Mustang Cobra. You'll never break that. Ratios range from 2.47:1 well into the 5s. And more different types of traction diffs than anyone could want. Any pure-stock LSx can happily pull a 1500 RPM cruise at 65 MPH in these cars, and the T56 offers a 0.5:1 sixth to help. You can combine that with either a 2.66:1 or 2.97:1 first, try for a combined first gear in the 9.00:1 - 10.00:1 range, for rear tires around 26" overall. If you're closer to 25", then calculate accordingly. Bigger cams will need more RPM at cruise, even after a good dyno-tune. That's part of why I like the '01-'06, they use the #0411 PCM that was figured out long ago, so tuning is cheap and easy, but it can do anything and everything you really need.
