Re: Choice between 4.8 and 5.3
I have the 4.8 4l60e in my 65. the only thing you would possibly gain from a stock 5.3 over the 4.8 is about 25 horse. that's it. mpg difference would be minuscule ( 1-2mpg lower on 5.3, maybe)
With mine, I am running somewhere around 300hp and that is more than plenty for me, it gets around 19-20 mpg on the highway, 14.5 or so city/mixed, starts every time and sounds fantastic.
