How large ate the holes?

I'm a little OCD when it comes to this sort of crap.

I use a Forstner bit too drill a perfectly round hole and buy Dowling in Ash to epoxy in to the holes. You can then grind and reglass the effected area and drill new holes.

This of course relies on the test of the wood being in usable condition.

I didn't measure how much out of round they are but I'd have to guess u could probably fit a 3/8 in bolt in it now on the inside of the stringer. Whoever installed the kit before just put big washers on the outside of stringers so I'll be replacing that with a piece of 2 in flat stock down the stringer to give it more area to clamp to. Where would I beable to find ash dowels an what kind of epoxy would u recommend?

If the damage is just the area of the bolt you should be good with drilling and plugging the hole, but if the stringer is starting to rot you won't be gaining much by plugging it.

The damage area is just the bolt holes thru the stringers. After being discouraged I finally went back at it an started poking it with a pick to see if I found an soft wood thru the holes. The stringers appear to be really solid no rot that ive found . so I went an bought some longer angle to make some new rails I'll drill the old holes an use some dowels to plug them an an redrill the new holes in different locations.

Yes that is what you need to do. I would drill new holes in the rail kit.


So new holes in the rail kit and in the stringers?

Pulled my motor to put the new one in the other day an once I lifted the motor I noticed one of the rail mounts was pretty loose. So I took the rail off an because it came loose at some point last year it oblonged the holes in the wood. My question I guess is can I just drill them out an fiberglass in a plug of some wood to repair it? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

But there are two MSD boxes a 6010 and a 6012. You need to get an engine first, to know which box you need. A Gen 3 or 4.

My 6.0 was a Gen 4, my 5.3 is a gen 3. I bought a 6012 for the 6.0 and just switched my Crank reluctor to a 58x and used the same box for a gen 4

So these are the ones that have to have the USB? Awesome build BTW still haven't finished the read but sure does seem like it's goin to help alot with mine. Have you made new headers. If you have are they water injected if not do you plan on making them with water injct

I've also been thinking of twin turbo the 5.3 or 6.0. Ok I have a 750 that's been work on so that should be plenty of carb so I guess all I'd need is a motor intake PTO oil pan an msd to get this goin plus all the stuff that makes lil problems in between

Easy! Easier than doing a conventional Big Block in my opinion.


You will need a Rail kit, do you currently have one?

You will need an ignition system, I recommend buying the MSD one not the Edelbrock one. The MSD is more tunable

Basic cost break down

Engine 500-1500 (depending on 5.3, 6.0, age, etc)
MSD - 350
Intake (i run an edelbrock) - 300
Rail kit/mounts - 250 (i made my own)
PTO - 150 i think (glenwood marine)
Oil pan - about 150 (check ebay)

Other than that, MOST of the stuff you ahve should swap over. The ignition is super simple. You plug the MSD into the Crank and the Cam sensors and turn the key. Its that easy, fires up about instantly.

Fuel system will need to be electronic.

Coolant system is pretty simple, but a couple extra hoses.

Ill find my thread and give you a link, also you can text me any time at 909-809-6358 and ill answer any of your questions i can

My head/cam 5.3 with a small 150 shot of nitrous pushes my heavy ass rogers 85+ ran 73 on motor this weekend with GPS


I've got a rail kit installed already an I'm running the holley blue pump. I was goin to run the msd as well I've never had problem with them before. What size carb are you running?
