The Stock LSA Supercharger has "Rectangular" Ports that match with "Rectangular" design Cylinder-Heads...
such as the LSA or LS3 Cylinder-Heads.

These "Rectangular" design Cylinder-Heads, require a Cylinder-Block with a minimum of a 4.000" Bore.
The 5.3L Cylinder-Blocks so not have a large enough Bore to accommodate the "Rectangular" design Cylinder-Heads...
A 6.0L or 6.2L Cylinder-Block would be required to use the "Rectangular" design Cylinder-Heads.

The Aftermarket produces different Intake-Port Adapters that allow "Rectangular" design Intake-Manifolds or "Rectangular" design Superchargers to be used with "Cathedral" design Cylinder-Heads.
Using these Adapters would be far from ideal...
However the 5.3L Engines with "Cathedral" design Cylinder-Heads would now allow for the LSA Supercharger (with "Rectangular" design Ports) to fit/ work together.

Thanks for letting me know but before I supercharge it I want to rebuild or get a already rebuilt 4l60e trans cause my 4l60e I got now is not the best (slips/changes gears late).
