Re: ls engine identification
yep, the 5.3 and 4.8L use the same block. I believe the diffence comes from the crank only.
I would do some research on the heads. I would guess that the 4.8L use different heads than the 5.3L. This is assuming the heads haven't been swapped, but probably not. |

Re: ls engine identification
4.8 has a flat top piston and teh 5.3 has a dish....take the plug out and look in the cylinder with a flashlight.

There has to be a easier way than that.
