No. Piston pin height is different. Ive been out of the game for a while, and been a couple of years longer since I was dealing with a 5.3 Never had much experience with the 4.8 at all, but its possible the rods are different lengths.
IIRC, the pistons are pressed on in the 4.8, and the 5.3, so best bet would be to get crank, pistons, and rods. I know for sure you have to have the crank and pistons.
