There is a LS1 intake comparison in the new High Performance Chevy mag that includes the 5.7L, 6.0L and others... all else being the same. Some interesting reading if you have the time.
The guy I was talking to about the 5.3...wish I could remember his name...said the motor mounts from Street and Performance won't work with the 5.3 because of interferance with the accessories. I think it was because of the alternator or the A/C which are down low. I made my own mounts out of some F body ones. I just cut them up and rewelded them when I had the motor and tranny in the right place. One thing to note about the tranny location. If you keep it in the same spot so as to reuse the drive shaft...you might have interference with the pan and the cross member. Something to check out.
