Almost dead 4.8 start up

Simply what the title implies, the 4.8 in my 2001 Silverado is about dead, but sounds healthy for some half-assed reason. Even at almost 170k

Next step is a KB blown 383 stroker.

Comments on my next motor and set up choice are always welcome, as well as suggestions.

your ding is gone

Ding? The chime when you first turn the key to the "run/acc" position? I'd had the key kicked forward for a couple minutes while I put my seat belt on and got the camera ready.

What makes you say it is almost dead if it runs and sounds good?

@JU9NCH9V3Z that's because the 3.1 is fuckin tank. i had a 91 lumina when i was a teenager and a dumbass. ran it without oil no tellin how many times and buried the temp gauge twice and that car is still being used at the local round track in a pure stock class, with 280k miles on the odometer. lol

That's actually pretty good. My exes ex (confusing, right? Not as confusing as we both have a kid with her), has an Explorer (92-93) with 620k on it. Original motor, original transmission, etc. The only things that aren't original are the usual tune up things, fluids, filters, fuel pump, plugs, wires, etc.
