dude do a 6.0 while ur at it unless that 5.3 is ULTRA low miles and at a steal.

at any rate my entire swap was approx $1200, thats with honing the cylinder walls on the first block, swapping blocks, picking up heads, trans, DS, and swap. And approximately 32 ish hrs of mine and a couple of friends' time. overall, good experience if you have a weekend to set aside
