Depends on your goals. All I wanted was a dependable driver, not a race or drag car. That allowed me to look for and find a very dependable 5.3 liter LM7 and 4l60E trans out of a 1999 GMC Sierra truck and I've been very happy with it.
If you want fast speed or tire smoke, look for a bigger engine. It'll cost you more.

6.0 or 6.2 could probably make the most HP since they will hold up more to boost than LS7 7.0. Without boost a 7.0 would be best bet but it costs a lot more. 5.3 is best bang for buck with boost.

Make sure you get a Gen-4 engine if you plan to boost it. The Gen-3s won't last long. If you blow up a boosted engine, there probably won't be much left to re-use. It's best to build it right the first time.
