Default 5.3 L33 with t56

I'm just wondering if the t56 will have problems mating with a L33? Does anything have to be changed?

i dont see why, its just an aluminum block/higher compression version of the 5.3 LM7 and it bolts up just fine. as long as its a LS1 T56 and not a LT1 t56 you should be fine

I thought I read somewhere where the pilot bushing on the T56 would need to be swapped out to be mated with the 5.3. Can anyone confirm this for me? I have my L33 and my T56 came in last week, getting ready for the swap.

Pilot bushing goes at the end of the crank shaft in the engine, not on the transmission.
So, yes you do need one for a manual trans as apposed to the auto.

Thanks for the info. I've tried searching on google and the performance Truck site, but to no avail. Does anyone have a part # for the pilot bushing I will need for the 5.3L?
