You could get a 5.3 core block and have it bored to 5.7 and then put all the LS1 parts in it.

damm dale,that sux bro,hope you get all these problems worked out.
getting all 8 cylinders bored and honed to 5.7L dimensions is the cheapest mod you can do to build hp on a 5.3L engine. Added benefit is you only need one piston/rod assembly to finish the build.Getting it balanced would be great, too. Maybe Xtreme can bore and balance it for you.
