L33 was only offered in 05 and is an aluminum block HO 5.3. Check your RPO codes in the glove box and look for L33 or LM7...

Yes, it will just say 799 on the corner of the head. For example passanger side in front, on the corner, Right behind the tensioner and nest to the water pump.
I think you should run it tell it blows. Hell might be 3 more years. Then it gives you a reason to put a 6.0 in or if you saved enough mine as well throw in a LSX block and build a beast.

Your VIN engine code = V

4.8L LR4

The 'Z' is your plant code. Fort Wayne, Indiana.
