There's plenty left, and there should be no cooling issues, hope you're ready to spend some $$$
I was going to, however it proved too expensive. I couldn't find a piston with enough dish for stock bottom end.
Hi by the way, I'm the new guy!

btw guys this guy builds engines for a living and did a 5.3 to a 5.7 for Blownchevy aka Brian at JPA. Apparently it's one of the cheapest block mods to make instead of swapping int a 6L or something.

I'll be doing something similar. Putting an iron 408 in the Camaro. Then gonna go ahead and rebuild the 5.7L LS1 and put it in the truck (after some milling and slight love to the heads). Gonna leave it basically stock cam because it's my TRUCK and not my performace vehicle. But I see no reason to leave a perfectly fine LS1 sitting around when it would fit just fine.
Am I correct that I'm fine as long as I just use a truck crank and truck accessories?
