Re: 5.3 swap build so far
It might, a lot of it depends on the gear ratio, tune, and how you drive

Depends on your trans type and tire sizing, one may mathematically work out better for ya. 3:73 12-bolts are easy enough to find, so simplicity might lead you there.

id say 3.73's would be good to go, should pull good, and not be too high on the rpm's at highway speeds
