Ahhh.... I rememebr now. The 5.3L is the "LS4" block used exclusively in transverse FWD applications. I guess it could be adapted to a RWD application, but again, my money is on the L76 as a base engine. It just doesn't make sense in my mind to spend the money to convert it to a RWD application when you already have a ~360 HP engine in production...

Guess we will have to wait and see
