Here is a great write up on doing a cam swap:

Granted it's an LS1, but the 5.3 is still an LS based motor and the process should be the same.

Installed pacesetter LTs, beehive valve springs, pushrods, and a k and n cold air intake along with the cam. When i get a chance ill post a video with the exhaust done. The exhaust is the headers into the pacesetter offroad y pipe (which brings it back into one), a hollowed out cat, a y pipe to split back into duels, and two delta 40 flowmaster mufflers.
