I was researching a bit earlier on here but couldnt find the answer, and was wondering what all it would take to make my old 4.8 into a 5.7 ironblock. I know it would need to be bored and honed. I know someone who can do that for a decent price but, would I just need to find an LS1 Crank and pistons after that? ARP bolts and other strong parts will be included as well.

Basically if this works out my plans are either to:

1. Put it into my new 83 K5 blazer project Ive been working on

2. Put it into my 06 with the current 216/220 comp cam in the 5.3 and return the 5.3 to stock and put that in the blazer. Aftermarket heads will also be installed (Not sure yet). I want to spray it in the future too

If anyone has advice for me on this let me know!
