Has any one done it?? It's some thing that has been crossing my mind quite a bit.

Don't think you can take a 5.3 that big.. Will be to much out of the the cylinder walls. A 5.7 block yes.. I think

Yes it can be done. A guy over on ls1truck has a build thread.

Walls do get real thin though..

You have to use a 4" crank. Cylinder walls shouldn't be a problem.

Can you post a link of it?

I have come across a brand new block for CHEAP, that is why I am asking.

This is possible on some blocks. Not all are created equal(im serious) If this is the route you decide to go, make sure you get the block checked for cylinder thickness, esp at the bottom.. Plus this is going to be more then building a reg enegine J, having to get a stroked crank.. What hell are you smoking up there in the D yo

I wouldn't even bother honestly. Why do that when you can spend the same money on a 6.0 and have a much bigger motor.
