eventually ill do forced induction. just wanted to be sure that its still gonna be worth building. like if i get it bored to a 5.7, it should be the same as a 5.7 block, correct?

As has been already said, I'd also keep it as a 5.3. Those thick cylinder walls are in your favor, and I don't know you'll really miss the .4 liters when you are jamming air in it.

but what about before boost. will the 5.3 with 243 heads, custom cam, ls6 intake, and long tubes still make as much power as the same set up except with a 5.7?
