Ok I am working on figuring out the best course of action as to how to go about doing this.
I am trying to, on something resembling a budget, get a the right motor into my Saturn Sky (some goober in Delaware forgot a bunch of cylinders when he installed the motor).
I am opening this up to the community to help me with planning the build. My plan is to start accruing parts and kick off the build this winter when she comes back off the road. I figure this gives me plenty of time.
I'm leaning towards using 5.3 iron block to get the swap done. What I need to know is are there any major challenges/differences in using a GenII block vs a Gen IV. I was looking at a 5.3 out of something like a 99 silverado. This is a cost driven decision as an LS2 is going to put me close to 4k just to get the motor and trans, as opposed to 400$ for a running 5.3
Transmission will definitely be a T56.
and that is about as far as I got.
