I have Joseph Potak's How to Build and Modify LS Engines which is great, but Im looking for a good book that has more specific details and instructions about rebuilding my engine. The problem is, all the reputable books are for LS1/LS6/LS2 etc. Can these books be used to rebuild a 5.3 as well? I know the similarities are there, but didn't know if there is a better 5.3 specific book anyone knows of?

thanks.

I got this one and it seems legit so far.

I'm gonna use it for reference on my 5.3 build. This is my first LS rebuild fwiw.

Yeah that's the one Im looking at. Im just not sure it there would be a better book specific for the 5.3, or if it is the exact same as building an LS1/LS6 (with slightly diff specs on bearing clearances/Torque etc of course)

I imagine its the same since I cant find a book specific for the 5.3 can someone confirm this?

buy it, read it, and dont look back. best of luck on your build.

I built my iron 5.3 based motor using the Potak book as the primary guide.
