What engine is this? I found a guy that saids he had a 5.3 and it's been sitting for 2 years. I asked him to pull the covers and send me a picture. Biggest concern is rust/corrosion since it's been sitting for so long.
Looking at the heads the casting number looks to be 092..? I've looked and looked but can't find anything on this engine.

If you look at the contours of the first number it looks like an 8. A 0 would be a continuous line, but you can see a dimple in the middle. It's hard to tell because the middle of the number is either missing or covered.
The reason you're not finding anything for those numbers is because they don't exist.
