Extended cab 4x4's are the only trucks that I know of that come with the L33 HO 5.3. My 2006 Z71 has one.

seems like alot of work and then the 5.3 would be a little high strung. i have connections that i could get an ls1 cheap. how hard would it be to swap in an ls1, and still keep all the a/c and power steering.

Easy. Im not 100% sure, but I think the A/C bracket will bolt up fine.

LQ9s are few and far between compared to LS1s. The ratio seriously is about 150:1 for those motors.
