Ive decided to build a 5.3 with 4.8 flat top pistons and 862 heads milled .030and a 3 angle valve job. Anyone know what my comression will be? Any suggestions for a cam?

I thought that the pin location was the same location and the used a longer rod to make up the difference in stroke. Now I could be wrong but i thought I read this over on PT.net.
Step 1. crus at it.
Step 2. get a hammer.
Step 3. torch it.
True statement. The bore between the 4.8/5.3 is exactly identical and a longer rod is used. The pistons should fit perfectly on stock 5.3L rods.

I'd put 4.8 pistons in mine, can't justify tearing into a new motor though, I'm not that crazy.

Mod a V-6? Huh? My 4.3 is going into retirement bud. Picked up a replacement.

And what is this "replacement???"
