The 4.8 has a shorter stroke(3.267 in) but longer rods (6.275 in)
The 5.3 has a longer stroke (3.622 in.) and shorter rods (6.098 in)
So you would have a longer stroke and longer rod = 0.177 to long.
Why do you want to use a 5.3 crank with the 4.8 rods?
The best combo would be to use the 5.3 crank and rods with the pistons from the 4.8 since they are a flattop design.
