When i replaced my 2001 5.3 block the new gm bare block 5.3 fit 99-2006 if i remember correctly.

Do you have a plug in at the front timing cover area on the 2003?? This would be for variable valve timing at the nose of the camshaft area and when gm went to this system they no longer needed egr. (the pipe on the rh manifold)

With the intake manifold removed from both engines it will be obvious what systems are present.
Yes, 99- 06, should fit the bill. The VVT was later, so if you use all the intake/ect off your 03, you should be ok, as mentioned. I have an 06 5.3 flex fuel engine (my spare)...but to note, it has the same crank/cam sensors as the 2000, that I run in my longhorn (cam sensor in the top rear of the block) Longhorn
