With some porting by somebody who knows what they're doing, they'll be just fine. Or, if you're planning forced induction in the future, they'll be just fine.

Let's see... the L33 was the aluminum block flat-top piston 5.3 wasn't it?

Kinda jealous, I had to get milled heads to get that CR if it has flat tops.

Good find and for a good price to boot.

Since I know you're on kinda a budget with this. I'd probably recommend this converter, just an opinion, nothing more.

A lot of us are running this converter... Well, I haven't actually ran it yet, I'm still waiting for the transfer case speed sensor plugs that I ruined Nothing is worse than not having your truck for 3 weeks, and when you get everything put together, you have something dumb like a speedometer that doesn't work.
