Default two things

if you have a 5.3 and put a 6.0 crank in it...what do you come up with and what other mods would have to go along with that conversion. how do you find cubic inches but borexstroke...what is the formula?

I'm pretty sure that the 5.3, 5.7, and 6.0L all use the same crank just different bore. 5.3 has a 3.779" bore, 5.7 has a 3.89", and the 6.0 has a 4.001" bore; all use the 3.622" crank. The formula for cubic inches is Cylinder area x Stroke length x 8. (pi x r(1/2 of the bore size))^2 x stroke x 8.

That site will do it for you, just plug in the bore, stroke, and # cylinders. To get liters, divide by 61(approximate). Hope that helps.
