Can we put the accessories and intake from a 96 Vortec 5.7 on a 2004 5.3L longblock?
Or to put it another way, we want to put a 2004 5.3L long block in a 96 Tahoe.

i think maybe the trans MIGHT bolt up but nothing else will
Thanks, that's kind of what I thought.
Isn't the 5.3 an LS derived engine?
there will be converter to flywheel problems
the converter from the LS motor is different bolt pattern , different off set on the flywheel
Yes, the 5.3 is an LS derived engine. It's the one I want to put in my '57. They're cheap, plentiful, long-lived, and can make 325hp with only a mail order tune. I'd like to hook one to a T5, which is sufficiently beefy for that power level and about 1/3 the price of a T56.
Matching up to components from earlier generation SBCs including the Vortec can get a bit technical, however.
GM offered a parts kit to bolt a early automatic trans to the LS engine.
Problem was couple of parts were incorrect. That was last year. I believe they corrected the problem.
or Call Hughes , talk to Matt
