maybe you need t pull the engine and see what you got? maybe its not as bad as it sounds? maybe it'll be cheaper to fix ( rebuild ) than buying a 5.3 ok maybe a 6.0 lol!!
i do see your point but without knowing exactly the problem just hard to justify swapping 5.3 into a 6.0s spot. personally id pull the head find the problem if it is indeed a lifter, maybe you'll get lucky and it may not have killed the bore, then again it can be sleeved if not mistaken ?
Simple: 408 on steroids!
single digits coming soon!
It's just as simple as pulling it and swapping all your stuff over to the 5.3 and the flywheel part. I'm sure it will even run just fine with the 6.0 tune. I'd use your intake and injectors along with your manifolds.

TURBO IN THE WORKS
I decided to tear heads off of the 6.0 before removal and found a bad lifter. $10 and gasket kit and I'm back running now. Quiet as a mouse. Thanks for you guys help.. I still have the 5.3 ready to drop in if this 6.0 takes a dump.
