    I would use the fuel rails and convert to returnless the new injectors are 42lbs if I remember right. Don't expect huge gains but some good gains can be had on this swap. I want to say the ptm 90mm is the least expensive I have seen and they are nice to boot.

    Yes, you can use the 2011 5.3 intake with a throttle body to match.
    No, you don't need an X-link. Even if your 2000 was DBW you wouldn't need it, it is for 03+.
    Yes you can use the 2011 fuel rail, using a external FPR or corvette filter. Or you can modify your 2000 fuel rail to fit the 2011 intake.
    Yes you can use the flex fuel injectors, you will need to splice on new pigtails or get the adapters. You must retune for this as well as the larger TB.

    ^Sums it up. But keep in mind, 07+ flex fuel injectors are only 30lb/hr, your current are 28lb/hr. The newer trucks compensate for e85 by upping fuel pressure. However GMT800 Flex fuel injectors run 34lb/hr.

    The difference between winning and losing, is having a 2nd stage.
