Default Project advice

So i bought me an aluminum block 5.7l today. out of a 2000 ss camaro. Im plannin on swappin it into my 2000 rcsb 2wd silverado. So far my plans are 4:10 gears adn locker in the rear end, and a 4000 stall in the 4spd auto. Then comes the motor... i plan on purchasin the stg 2 5.3l head/cam combo from Texas-Speed with my cam choice being the 233/239 with a 112 lobe seperation, with a fast 108mm and throttle body atop that. with pacesetter long tube headers, 3" exhaust with electric cut outs. and a offroad h-pipe and borla xr1's. Also i plan on a 100 shot. Just seein what u guys (and girls) think of my combo, any advice and or opinions are very welcome for this is my first build so please feel free to say anything haha

you will need a different fuel rail and bigger injectors and a bigger fuel pump.sounds like a fast truck,what converter?get a cam that makes a lot of torque to move the extra weight .

I would have went lq9,lq4 but who knows maybe you got a good deal on the 5.7,but that combo should make really good power,
