Hello everybody!
Been doing some research of the difference between the Gen 5 and Gen 4 5.3s since the LH6 in my envoy tossed a rod. Been searching and really didnt find much different between the 2 ( mainly the short block are pretty much the same).
Question,
I found a short block gen 5 from a 2014 silverado, with 80xxx miles for 250. Is it possible to just swap over my top end (Heads, AFM plate, Intake and Fuel System) replace the oil pan with a new one, and will it run? I know the cam has a love for the mechinal fuel pump but will it work? Or does the cam need to be replace? I plan on replacing all the gaskets, lifters, push rods, have the head check. Also, the gen 5 block uses the 58 though reloctor wheel
Thanks in advance!!!
