Default 5.3
The 5.3 aluminum block is basically an LS6 block with thicker wall sleeves to reduce the bore size. They will bore out to LS1 LS6 bore size of 3.897".

What is the door code for the alum 5.3 block? Isn't the LM7 the iron version?

L33 or LM4, L33 has the 799 heads which is pretty much LS6 heads without the sodium filled valves and better springs.
