well if I am going to do it once I would rather wait and save more money and go with a 6.0 and have more power than I know what to do with it.
as for trans I would like to go with a TH400 w/ a manual valvebody

why not go 5.3?
6.0=more power

why not go with the LQ4 for half the price and 20 less hp, it can easily be made up with a cam swap and car intake, or even the 5.3 with an LS6 cam and car intake ill make a good 350hp and can be done for under $1000. Also remember the TH400 requires a spacer or custom TC to work with an LS motor.
looks like you just need a spacer

looks like an lq4 w/ cam and headers should make 450 hp w/ a good tune and spin 6000 rpm
that will take a set of L92 heads as well. From all the build ups ive read, L92 heads, ls6 hot cam or equvalent, car intake and a proper tune should make between 460-500 depending on cam. The only difference between in the LQ4 and the LQ9 are forged pistons and less then a point of compression. The only issue i see with those motors are how fast they rev and requiring 2500 to 2800 stall
All of the vortec rods I have seen at the shop have been powdered metal fwiw
