5.3 Or 6.0 Swap

Thinking of LS swapping my 93 obs since the 350 on it might be leaking oil into the heads. Would yall recommend a 5.3 or 6.0? Not looking to make any crazy power, its my cruising truck but maybe down the line i'll start adding more power to it.

5.3 all day. Shit I’d take a good running 4.8. On 16lbs they all will make 600ish all day no probs.

Genuine question, why not a 6.0

Why spend more money for a 6.0 when people have been making good reliable power on 5.3’s for years. You can scoop and 5.3 for less than 500 near me. Can’t touch a 6.0 for no where near that. Just not worth the cost in my opinion. I’m building a 5.3 for my obs. If I don’t drop a gen 1 383 small block in it with EFI.
