Default 5.3 question
Will 5.3's with 2.02/1.6 valves fit on a 5.3 motor? Seen another thread like this with no answers

5.3 bore is 3.779.valve guide spacing is 1.913.add valve spacing to half the valve sizes,you get about 3.723 pretty close.

Not trying to hijack the thread but would a set of ported 853's be a better choice?
