I've also read and been told the 5.3 was the strongest stock LS aluminum block. The have the most meat in the sleeves and I think paired with the right heads it should be one hell of a boost engine.

It's a different way of going about it, but I really like the 80+ pounds removed from between the front tires and taking a different path.

Only one way to find out.

Info on the bores from "Motorbooks/Workshop, GM LS-Series Engines"

Thanks for the info Brandon, ill check into those guys.
