Hi my machine shop is bit worried bout taking it out that far I'm mainly thinking its a lot easier to get a dish piston to suit 3.905 with after market rod 6.125 927 pin don't seem to be able to find any thing to suit a 5.3 with after market rod if any body knows of a supplier that sells a 5.3 piston to suit let me know otherwise I'll go the 3.905bore

I was thinking why not put in a good rotating assembly, leave as much thickness as possible, and turn the boost up.

I punched a 5.3 to 5.7 and had no problems..
Plenty of people have and boosted the crap out of them..

Why not keep it at 9.5:1? Stis comp. is still pretty boost friendly, especially with the forged pistons. You don't want to go to low on compression, might be a dog out of boost. IMO, I'd run 9.5 and a meth kit.

I thought the 5.3s and the 5.7s had the same bore spacing? So if you bore out the 5.3, it will have the same amount of material between the cylinders as the 5.7.
No point in boring out a block if you plan on cramming boost down it, though.
