The newly swapped van, first time on dry pavement. I knew the 5.3 would have more power than the old 305 but I was pleasantly surprised by the increase in get up and go. Since brand new, the 305 was a slug and I was hoping for a noticeable increase, but it was much more than I expected yay.
I have transmission issues and 3rd and 4th are slipping(newly rebuilt 4L60) and I have it going into the rebuilder for diagnostics next week.
Very pumped about the power increase! Definitely worth nearly a years work.

Glad to hear you are happy with the new 350 but bummer about the transmission.
