Re: help?
so what is the cost of them? That is what would make my mind up right now, but I am leaning toward the first one because of the impact on the second one, potential issue.

Re: help?
I would get both for that kind of money. Truck intakes are pretty cheap less than $100.00 most times. They will interchange on the LS motors as well.
If they don't have the intakes it maybe a good time to think about what kind of induction you want. Check the link. http://www.nookandtranny.com/Info_LSx.php

Second Motor: not really sure with those numbers. 243 heads did come on the 4.8, 5.3 (ls1 and ls6 as well but doubtful that's what you have unless its an aluminum block.). Best bet is to look for number stamped on the front drivers side of the block. below the water pump passage. And if you plan on using it for a swap, the GEN IV standalone harness is pricey. Post some pictures if you can. |

Re: help?
i have 862's on my 4.8L. i found on a site the idea of using something to see if you can feel a lip on the piston by poking through the spark plug hole. i just used an antenna i had laying around to see if it was dished or flat... should be pretty obvious if it is a dished piston.

Re: help?
you can actually see the lip if the piston is at the top and you shine a pen light down on it
