I like the stroked 5.3 idea. That is a cool truck, and you could say 'yeah, its got a 383" stroker'. I have not built one personally, but a stroker will make good torque.
I've got a 6.0 block for sale, cheap, but your probably nowhere near me. I can't believe I can't sell it here locally

Aluminum 5.3 "late" short block My favorite :
1. A "late" 5.3 Aluminum block@88mm (NOT 89mm)
2. A 4.00" OR a 4.10" Crankshaft with 58x TW
3. A set of 6.125" Rods with good bolts
4. A set Race Tec (Auto Tec) Pistons with NPR Steel Rings
5. A LS-7 (IWIS) single row Timing Chain
6. A 2010 Camaro Oil Pump

The cost VS HP gained when stroking an engine isn't there. Grab a set of heads and a cam and be done.
Or better yet leave it alone and put a $190 Gt45 on it and it will make twice the power on baby boost and a 100% stock engine.
