Trans will work. LSx style motor dont have the 12 and 1 oclock bolts on block but the rest hold it on fine. to use stock trans you need flywheel spacer. Stock rear depends on your foot.
5.7 is easy to do, LSx alot more work. I did em both, although my swaps will always be a touch easier with no ifs in my way, 5.3 was worth the hassle!!
Either prepare to drop bout $800 on having someone do your wiring harness, or bout $300 on aspirin/liquor doin it yourself.

Ive been looking into the 5.3 for a long time. Id love to do it but in scared of the wiring lol. For my question and for info the op can use,can the stock oil pan on the 5.3 work on ours? as long as its 2wd ofcourse. i heard something about people using the pans from hummers.
