I was considering doing a cam swap in my stock 5.3/4L60e before installing the engine in my 57 pickup project. I have never driven one of these, so I don't know it's potential in stock form. But I was thinking since the engine is out, "might as well". I have been in contact with a custom cam grinder, and he recommended swapping out the stock torque converter and installing 3.73 gears (currently 3.07).
The short story is that I'm already over budget on this truck. When I put the $$$ down on paper for all the "might as wells", it just doesn't make sense.
However, when I get this thing on the road in stock form, will I say "should have upgraded?" For now, this truck will be a fun summer cruiser with an occasional burn out. Is stock "good enough", or will I be disappointed?
