Re: which one would you pick engine tranny combo?

Go with the 5.3 if it has EVERYTHING included. DBW throttle body means cruise control is easy to setup, because it's all there.

Check the heads on the 5.3, if they are 243 or 799 casting numbers, it's a no brainer also. These will outflow the 241 LS1 heads all day long.

If you go the LS route, put a new oil pump and timing chain in and drive it for another 200k.
