It would be a custom piston to use a larger stroke in 5.3, cost would get out of control.

We warranty 90 days on the workmanship and yes you explained it, I don't have control over many variables, basically if you get the motor and say your not happy with something, we can work it out.

6.0 block I normally see .220" on thrust down to .175" at 3 O'clock on the bore location wise (when bored to 4.030")
With those numbers the 5.3 block can be punched out to 3.905 without any problems. There is a guy on TurboForums with a turbo Nova that did it and made over 1k to the tires with a 5.3 block/All pro heads and Arp standard sized studs(Bottom end/ Heads). Condsidering people throw those blocks away around here I am suprised more people haven't thrown these together more often. Thanks for the valuable Info!

If you own a machine shop it might be worth it... but for most people the cost of boring it and stuff you'd be right at the cost of a 6.0 which is bigger. I was just looking into this also. from a 5.3 to a 5.7 it is 21ci ? not worth all the machine work, and if you're going through that much to gain cubes....get a 6.0

That 3.83 bore 5.3L sounds like an awesome engine to build for FI.
Wonder what it would do with a pair of GT-35's ot Precision TA-5557's?
