Engine opinions/suggestions
How does this sound:
5.3 block bored to 5.7
5.7 Crank
LQ9/LS2 Rods (Maybe forged)
Stock LS1 Pistons (Maybe forged)
Stage 2 5.3 Heads
220/224 .566/.568 112 Comp Cam
LS6 Intake and Injectors
This will be mated to a 5-Speed in a 4x4. What kind of power do you think this will make? Would you change anything?

I'll probably go bigger on the cam. I had thought about putting that cam in the 4.8 for now and switching it to the new engine so I could have a little more power now. I think I'll keep my eyes open for a 4" crank to go in it also.
