Yup, I have the 317's. Some guys need the low end grunt, not many need the top end, although I've had mine up to 127, Buick 145--just sayin

I beat ya by 3 mph with the Buick! Don't think I would do it again,scary! LOL

Yes, but you know how it is when you're young. I did 145 on rte 80!

Lol, must be. Everybody is young and dumb once. I hit it going home to Pa--worked in Nwk at the time--around Rockaway, nice straightaway, those GN's can't handle worth a crap. Hit 127 on the turnpike, no shaking. I don't know if I'd go faster since I've rear about our stock driveshafts now.

The O'Reilly part numbers you need are 67085 & 67086. Those are right from my receipt as I recently rented the same tool w/ adapter.

I went and rented one of those on my lunch break but it wouldn't fit on my reservoir. There isn't a radiator cap, correct? Maybe the other part number has different sizes?

I have other work done--cam, longer pushrods, springs, hv oil pump, long tubes, 3000 stall convertor, exhaust and tune. And yes, it's a gas guzzler. But that's with my mods. I don't see how it would be alot different then your 5.3 if you keep the same driving habits. Check out my build thread. If you're on a phone turn it sideways and look at the bottom of my post.View attachment 207081

So I do a lot of city driving and never average 12 MPG (I reset the average MPG every time I get gas). I usually average around 15 on the highway with hills pretty often. That's with very basic mods. Do you think I'd see anything different than that with a 6.0?

I'd say, if you drive easy I don't see why you wouldn't be around the same mileage. Just don't romp on it too much. I'd guess I'm maybe 10-11 in the city, that's with my gf driving it. Me, I'm probably 5-6, lol.

Anyone know a good place to find prices on a new crate engine or is the dealer my best bet? Probably looking for one from GM. I don't know if that's the direction I'm going yet, just want to compare prices.

Yes you need both part #'s. The 2nd part # is an adapter kit that allows the tool to be screwed onto the reservoir in place of the pressure cap.

I swear to God monkeys could run that store better...

How's your steering and alignment? It's no sports car, but mine didn't seem to give a shit how fast it went unless the road was garbage with a side wind
