Default 5.3 lm7

So im sure ill get trolled for not just googling(to many non helpful sites out ther) this but im looking for some information on the items in which i should look into for running my t56 trans like bell housing and clutch assembly(pressure plate flywheel)

also is the 5.3 lm7 considered an ls based motor some people say yes some people say no cause its a truck motor.

also if i plan to upgrade cam for higher rpm (drift car) i know i need to do the valve springs but what kind of cams are you 5.3 guys running?

Just buy clutch and flywheel parts for a LS1. I am running a Monster Stage 2 in my swap with there flywheel.

The LM7 is a LS based motor...

And no clue on the springs, usually its wise to match springs to cam. I am still running stock
