Alton, you know there is nothing like boost. You can have a smooth daily driver that gets good mpg and runs 11's in the same truck.
I just took an iron block 5.3 to the machine shop with no-ones name on it. It will be bored out to 3.90 (347ci), Eagle rods, ARP rod bolts, Mahle forged pistons, balanced, line bored, polished crank, about 9:1 compression. That would be a great start. We can get you some 6.0 heads and have a little work done to them and your long block would be done. Remember, we made 650 in a Yukon with a bored 5.3, GT-67 STS and LS6 cam.
We could even grab some 6.0 exhaust manifolds and do a single front mount.
put my name on that thing...i'll give it a nice home
