I ment 243, thank you for the correction. I know because my handle on here is truckinL33. Why is it L33? Because I have one in my truck. I'm actually surprised to hear that it came in Envoys factory, that's pretty badass.
there are several versions of the aluminum 5.3. the ones found in the trailblazers and etc are more prone to issues with the rought casting they have.
also in the GMT900s they have an aluminum version its a LC9 which has 243/799 on them
if its free then just do a refresh on it or add a 4" crank to it. However its not a capable motor or being bored out. You would have to have it reselved and at that point it could be a 427 if you wanted to spend enought money

it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
ok thanks yall! i was wondering if it would be worth my time and money freshning this motor up or just buy a iron 5.3 or 6.0 thats ready to go, im goin to add a cam,LT's and a nelson tune to whatever motor i choose, so what yall think i should do with my money???
You'll actually lose weight using the L33 over the 4.3. So there's that benefit too. If I had the choice I'd go aluminum

Aluminum also dissipates heat faster. So an all aluminum motor will run a bit cooler.
