New member with ???'s 5.3 Swap

[jettech]

+1 on the tune. 6.0 would be an easy swap....IMO.... I know someone that has a nice 5.3 long block for sale....cheap!if you dont want to do the 6.0...um......can i do that?? LOL

I would rather go with the 6.0 and upgrade.. I'm looking for some more HP. What is going to be the easiest and non difficult year of motor to go with? A couple people are talking about using the 5.3 intake and I don't know what the deal is with that but I don't want to use anything off my old motor except the a/c comp and the water pump.. Everything but these two items are stock and wore out.
