Would an LS6 cam fit a 5.3?

Ls6 cam works well but is more tuned to the ls6 style intake keeping the powerband high. The ls6 does bleed off a lot of low end tq on a 5.3 though
Pros are it'll idle nearly like stock, and you could likely find one cheap.
There are better grinds out there for the 5.3 that have much more benefit though

Yes it will...but...you will need longer pushrods as the LS6 cam has a smaller base circle than your 5.3L cam does...
I run one in my 5.3 powered 72 Chevelle wagon, and I wish it had more bottom end...but once it comes on , it really puts a smile on your face.
