Why would you change from a 6.0 to a 5.3?

A 6.0 has been really hard for me to find in my area. Do you think it will fit?

Thanks for the input it's just hard for me to find in the 6.0 in my area so I was wondering if the 5.3 would fit.

Are you installing the engine yourself or at a shop. If at a shop they can get a quality 6.0 thru Jasper's Engines.
