    5.3 s10?

    Idk I this is the right place but I'm working on an 82 s10 and my 5.3 is gone. So till I get another I was going to finish my setup suspension ect. So my question is there a weight difference between the 5.3 and the older 350?

    That really depends on materials. Aluminum heads or block will make a big difference.

    The 5.3 will have aluminum heads and I believe the design is a little lighter, but we are talking a tad over 50lbs plus another 18lbs due to the heads.
