go with a 5.3 or 6.0 either way cant go wrong. put cam in either one would go fine. cost of motors in your area and your budget is up to you. you will need to swap intake and pan for clearance reasons tho with truck motor. just try to get everything you can when you buy. DBW will need gas pedal, wiring harness and tach box, pcm. need to be same year to work with each other.

Default What do you think?

LS Motor, 2JZ Motor or RB25/26 motor. Figuring the LS motor would be cheaper but which motor would be good for drag racing and more power?

Well i think all the motors you listed are good but LS will probably be the cheapest for a couple reasons, Parts are easily accessible, general repair parts you can get at most part stores with the 2JZ and RB not so much, mods are alot cheaper for LS than 2JZ I could go on but you get the just of what i am trying to say.
