MS3 and 5.3

quick question for the people who know off the top of their head, will a MS3 fit in a 5.3 without PTV issues? thanks

It will clear but I strongly suggest that you choose a smaller cam for a 5.3. Unless, of course, you are looking for a 5000-7500 RPM powerband.

In a 5.3L engine it would work but like mentioned above, that is a LOT of cam for that small of a motor!

If you are talking about 5.3L heads, we can set our heads up to clear without a problem. Just let us know what you are doing and we'll get you setup!

Thanks!

Well it depends, on whether you want to spin a 5.3 to 6800 +

I would probably go alittle smaller consider the clearence issue stated above..
