    I wouldn't swap in a 5.3 from a 4.8. I did that, mostly cause i was in a pinch. There isn't enough of a power increase for the trouble and money.You would be better off with a Cam swap and a Stall converter. If thats not enough hit it with a little spray. Yeah and don't don anything with out getting a good tune ditch that high dollar calculator(programmer) Unless it on with a custom tune on it.

    everything will swap over, 5.3 and 4.8 are identical blocks, you can use everything off your 4.8

    I thought it was outragous as well but it was too late to argue
