5.3 replacement advice needed
So I am about to have to replace my 5.3 in my 2000 Tahoe LT. Any suggestions on where I can get a good NEW engine that won't break the bank too bad? I'm looking for a long block. Don't like what I've seen in the way of customer reviews about Jasper.

yes, indeed. Does anyone have suggestions for a good supplier of rebuilts? I'm in the Houston, Texas area but not having experience - not going to pull up the yellow pages.
Personal recommendations are by far, the way to go!
Thanks!!

5.3 replacement
hi, I did a lot of research on 5.3 replacements and decided on a Ls33. It is an aluminum 5.3 with high compression pistons a little peppier cam that has a lot more torque and h.p. in the lower rpms where we need it. has about 50 more horsepower than my previous 2002 5.3 and weighs 150 pounds less. I said all that to say it ROCKS! you will have to research which years will bolt in your truck. I had the used engine rebuilt and had a friend retune it and I could not be more happy.
