a simple check of the head casting will tell you. check the 2nd page in the FAQ link in my sig, has all the head casting info.

 

What Engine Is This? On 2 Pallets And 2x4 Cage It Weighs In At 796lbs Plus Another 35lb Plastic Container. Is It A 5.3 Or 6.0 Or What I Was Told An Ls1?

Being as it came out of a Z71, Im gonna say its a 5.3

 

Thanks Alot Guys It Turned Out To Be A 5.3 And Saved Me 1750 Dollars
