    I'm not sure if there even is a difference, you may want to check LS1 tech but the numbers should interchange.

    Just stay away from the '97-98 pcm (which is easy because they're expensive), efi live and hp tuners work but you don't get all the options. After they go to the later stuff I'm not sure what the story is.

                        So what are you saying? A truck motor vs. a truck motor makes the same HP?

                          I have no need for a 1200hp twin turbo ls in my FORD
                          OR WANT FOR THAT MATTER

                          All I did was point out the fact that the 5.3 truck motor cost x amount of dollars here. And while I was there I thought hmm I wonder what these cost. And now I know.

                            Actually, look on ebay. They can be had quite a bit cheaper.

                                take ur 5.0 and sink the 2500.oo+ the changover cost of the swap
                                and your money ahead with the 5.0
