    From what I heard when I bought mine, the L33 came in 05-07 Z71s.

    also I think the L33s put out around 310hp up from 285 with the lm7

    From what i have read, the iron block came in my 02 Z71, correct? I also read that iron blocks are easier and safer to bore, is this true?

    L33 is the high output aluminum block 5.3 with flat top pistons and 799/243 casting heads. It has 310 hp.

    The LM4 came in Trailblazers and Envoys and is also an aluminum block 5.3 but is no different than the LM7 iron block other than the blocks being a different material; internally they are the same and rated at the same 285 hp.

    Just a 4.8.......

    Aluminum blocks bore about .010" oversize a the most.

    Cast blocks bore +.030" safely.
