I don't think so, unless the 5.3 have the notch that 853's have, and the head gasket doesn't have a provision for it. I'm not sure if they do, but a universal gasket kit is probably going to have provisions for the notch, since the heads w/o the notch could care less if that little piece of gasket is missing.

No the 5.3 accept standard LS1 gasket (no notch)

Cmon Erik get that monster of yours done so we can see what kind of power you are going to lay down. I know I know, what about my car. It'll be up and running in March 07 guaranteed. Good luck with everything Erik, and have a good New Years'

Be safe bro.
