Re: 5.3 vs LS1?

Since a complete 5.3 engine trans combo is $1500ish and an LS1 combo is $3500ish ( what I've seen advertised anyways ), my thoughts are that you could do ALOT of upgrades to the 5.3 for the extra $2k you are saving.

Plus, are there not complications with the car style accessory drives that need changed to work in a truck?
