Default 5.3L swap pics
Searched and couldn't find nothing, was looking for some pics of 5.3 swaps into 4th gen fbodies. Wanted to see how people setup their accesories and if they went to a LS car style intake or stayed with the truck intake.

Truck intake wont fit. You reuse your original LS1 F body accs on the 5.3. Simple

You will also need to keep your fbody accessory drive. Putting in a 5.3 is the same as swapping to a 6.0 iron block. You need to drill and tap the block for the alternator bracket and the rest is a direct bolt in.
