Re: Which is worth more in your opinion?

I'm going with the 5.3. You really are comparing apples and oranges here. The 5.3 is 325 CID, if you want something a little more comparable, how about a 6.0L (364CID)? Throw a cam in a 6.0 and your going to be at around 500 hp. You also have less weight and the benefits of fuel injection.

Re: Which is worth more in your opinion?

when i walk up on a truck or car and i ask what engine and they say 454 i say OOOOOHHHHH OOO YEAH! thats the engine! but when i see the same car or truck and he says 5.3 i think , i wonder how much he modified to ift it in there and then the smog he has to deal with.... so 454 gets my vote!
