Default 5.3 / 6.0 misinformation

hey gang,

I saw a LQ4 come up on the local craigslist, and of course started doing way too much research, and came across this;

Some of the very very early truck 4.8-5.3L trucks had blocks that were stamped 4.8/5.3/6.0 and they had thicker cylinder walls to accommodate a 3.8-4.0" bore and they were installed pretty much randomly across the early truck production so there is some truth to what is said there
