NOS 4.8/5.3 bare iron block on ebay, $199.
Just purchased this from ebay. $199.00 buy it now, and cost 150.00 shipping from ohio to upper michigan. My research on block casting number says it will work for 99-2007 4.8/5.3. New cam bearings already installed. I will be checking the bore once i get it in my hands. Working on my 2001 5.3 because the prior owner didn't change oil enough, and it sat in the salvage yard too long in one spot with no oil in cylinders. I tried my old trick of putting naptha in the oil just before a change and crap got let loose and oil pressure was jumping around from the debris. New oil pump on hand and the engine will be clean as a whistle when i'm done with it.
