What work was recently done to the vehicle? An incorrectly installed CMP or CKP sensor could be the culprit, along with a bad coil or misaligned distributor. If the distributor has been recently replaced or removed, ensure that the rotor is pointed at the 8 and not the 6 at #1 cylinder compression TDC. The distributor body has marks so that it can be used in both the Vortec V8 and V6, and installing it incorrectly could cause severe timing advance, which would be made bad enough to stall the vehicle (or damage the engine) when vacuum or electronic advance comes into play

How do you get the rotor inside the distributor to fire in correct order on a 97 5.7 vortec?

the rotor in the distributor only turns around. It can not fire the wrong order. A wrong order happens when the wires are in the wrong order.

Can you replace the 5.3 Liter Vortec with the old 5.7 Vortec in a 2001 Silverado 1500?

it can be done but the 5.3 is a much stronger block. don't get me wrong i love the old sbc and especial the vortecs but the 5.3 is stronger. a simple cam and intake swap can wake it up big time. also the junk yards are full of the 5.3 engines. the 5.7 vortec is getting harder to find.
