help with build
Hi guys I have a bone stock 5.3 with a maggi on it. It had some pinging problems in earlier stages. Got it decently tuned and it ran good for a while till it started burning oil. Now I pulled it the other day and got the heads off and it needs help. Probly a bore with oversize pistons. Now my question is do I mess around with my 5.3 or do I look into finding a 6.0 and puttin my maggie on it? And if i should were and how do I find one?
Any advice is appreciated..

Yep, Follow AK's advice he's right on.
Just so you know, the 4.8 5.3 and 6.0 are all identicle on the outside.
You can find a nice low mile 5.3 usually for around 500-700$
A nice 6.0 will usually run 1000 or more.
Either stock longblock with cam , headers and 10 #'s of boost will def give ya 450+ RWHP.
My combo is on a stock 2003 LQ4 6.0 longblock, she runs ok LOL.

If all you want it 450 at the wheels you dont even need to get into heads though, AK is a perfect example of what you need to do. Follow his lead.
