the lq9 would be fun

or the l92

for the 5.3, i beleive the best version was the l33 correct? all aluminum block? And that was 2003 ext cab 4x4 only, or am i wrong? ive got plenty of time to look, i only wanna buy an engine once.

And ace, i always thought the stock 5.3s were a pretty peppy motor? i didnt know they were a house cat, ive always heard they had plenty of bite for the bark. they are basically a modern 327 right?
