5.3 into a 1990 OBS with a 5 speed

Man hope you get your kids back soon! Don't know what I would do with out my kids.
Ok cool. I'll look into the ss flywheel. How did you find out to use the ss flywheel? Is there a difference between the ss and regular camaro flywheels?

Good thing about using the camaro flywheel is that there is a lot of aftermarket parts for it. Just wondering if I should use the stock replacement 4.8 flywheel or go with the lighter more expensive unit.
Decisions decisions

if you got the flywheel, then go with it. i got the ss camaro flywheel cause i couldnt find a used 4.8 flywheel and couldnt order one new for it either - parts house didnt have a listing. jst got an ss flywheel cause the ss has a v8. jst worked out easier that way with the parts house worker. lol. jst another option down the road if you ever do need a new one

I have found a flywheel for the 4.8l truck. Its only $60 at oriely's
I think that is the way im going to go due to cost

Thanks for the info

I'm putting together plans for a 5.3 swap, and am toying with a manual trans. Whats your part number and did it work?

Update
Going with a 6.0 not the 5.3
Hopefully doing the swap here in the next couple of weeks.

I just bought a 5.3L myself and planning on putting into my 93 with 5 speed as well. Im gathering swap parts right now but hope to do the swap here in about a month or so. Good luck with your and look forward to seeing some more progress!

Im sure its the same thing as far as fuel lines harness PCM etc...
The flywheel will probably also apply.

I did this 2 weekends ago. Was waiting to sell the motor and just sold it yesterday for a little extra cash.
Motor may be going in this saturday depending on work!!!!
