Root2812, i had the same issues on my junkyard 2001 5.3. Ebay had brand new stock blocks, standard bore, and cam bearings already installed for $199.00 plus shipping. Total cost in my hands was $325.00. Pistons will need to be replaced no matter which direction you go. I ran the gm number on the block and it was for 99-05 5.3 replacement. Good luck.
