I would say those are not the best heads for a 5.3. The valves are too big for a 5.3 bore, and your compression will be way down. Need more info on your setup for us to help you out though.

you need to give more info as of what you are wanting to do na/fi why do you want this
if you do this n/a i would angle mill the heads so you can run a good size cam if you flat cut them you are limited on the cam angle milling puts the valve farther away flat milling puts the valve closer.other than that you can just bolt them on just need to know what you are wanting to do.
