bolt all your accessories to the longblock! All you will use on the 5.3 that came on it:
shortblock
heads
valley cover
front and rear covers
use your stock:
oil pan
valve covers
coils
intake
harmonic balancer
accessories
what year is the motor? ive heard the newer truck motors have better coils than the old car style

all your doing is a motor swap!! which if his blows up he will have to do anyways! Whats involved in doing this is involved in swapping a forged 346 into his stock 346s' place!!
