bringing this back to life to ask Frasher 2 questions...
is this still a valid price on this shortblock?
and what would the cost be to bore the 5.3L block to a 3.90 bore and do the shortblock that way?

Will this short block support 800-900hp or would it need additional options to handle that kind of hp? I wouldn't be worried about a stock crank, but the rod bolts and rods may be a problem?

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!

This 3.83" bore block Fraser is talking about will make you a 333" engine. I don't see 13 cubic inches being worth the loss of some wall strength in a forced induction motor. If you feel like you are missing some power with the smaller motor you can turn up the boost since the thicker cylinder walls will take it!!
