Neighbor wrecked his 5.3l tahoe and will let me have engine parts.What should I take? Like title stated. What parts off of a 2002 5.3l truck engine will work/swap on a 99' 5.7l engine?

If you have a '99 5.7L Tahoe engine then nothing off his 5.3L will work. They are two totally different engines. 
The '99 is based off the gen I/II small block while the 5.3L is based off the newer Gen III LSx based small block.
Still, get the whole engine if you can and sell it.

I got things way mixed up, I was thinking(for whatever reason) he was trying to get parts of a 5.3L Tahoe for a '99 5.7L Tahoe. In '99 the Tahoes still came with a 5.7L 350.

I have the throttle body off a 5.3 as well as the intake manifold, fuel injectors still mounted with the fuel rails, coils, valve covers. the coils are different on a 5.3 but should work with yours. the throttle body is the same, the valve covers are nearly the same with one difference being the passenger side doesn't have a provision for the pcv like the ones on an f-body. I intend to sell mine just haven't got around to it yet.
