I remember when the 5.3 first came out and the only way the old guys could figure out what size engine was to call it "one of them new 327" 
You know how older people don't like change. The salesmen would tell them they brought back the 327 and they were sold

A lot of people think the 5.3 is a 327 around me; I even had a girl tell me she had a 5.3 in her truck, which was basically the old 350. I just gave her one of those blank looks and went, umm....ok.
