You're up around Lansing Michigan area right?
Realistically, I'll probably nerd out on the various OEM options for a few months.. lol
I should probably go through the transmission as well with the amount of miles that are on it
Edit between 317/241/799/706
the 317 are #2 on the list in flow, downside is the 317 has a large combustion chamber, which I can easily accommodate with new pistons
On the mid lift the 317 out preform the others. They Should support 480-500hp in stock form...might need more compression than the 10:1 I'm running to hit those numbers

Yep. I found this set on Marketplace. Original plan was to swap onto the LS1 in the Vette. They'll just sit on the shelf until I find a use for them.
https://fb.watch/rIOn78DUck/?mibextid=v7YzmG See if this works. You can tune an lq4 to 800hp easily.
I would get a bigger set of heads... a 408 needs to breathe. I have a custom 1 off set of AFR 205s with a smaller intake valve for a 5.3L that almost flow 300 CFM. We specifically used the 205 casting because of the bore size and the small combustion chamber. Mine are 61cc but it's not 87 octane freindly combo. Unfortunately the motor cost more than the truck and for that reason alone I won't install it and drive it on the street. I know it will make an easy 500HP on the dyno.
As for the cam, the larger displacement will usually eat up some of the bigger cams since they require more air flow to feed them.
If I install 1.8 rockers puts valve lift at ~.580-.600" which is ~243cfm with 317s, yes heads/cam are choke point.
If the engine was going to spend more time between 4-6000+rpm than 2-4000rpm, I promise you, I'd be building it differently
I'd be looking at 230-250cc heads if I want a big RPM motor, but that would cost me a lot of efficiency at 2-3000rpmFrame is very clean for an Ohio truck truck, body rockers and behind rear tires are going...isn't worth anything really to anyone but me together,
Buddy asked how attached I am to my suburban, i like it.. but I've got no problem put it to pasture and getting another..
Started float FB marketplace place found a 01 2500 6.0 4*4 twin to mine with 234k same color with sunroof for ~3k.
Found a late 80s c20 burb with 6.2 diesel/700r4 converted a dually rear. Lol
Searching 96-06 2500 burbs. The 90s trucks prefer the 454, put cam, intake, 0411 swap full exhaust, and I can get upper teens out of easy
This is my current one. Joys of long gravel driveway and spring rain
Seen trucks with 1/3 the mileage looks substantially worse.

Get it in before the thread closes '82 on the yearBurb with a dually rear???? Do it, do it....
I was hoping for a different kind of "bunnies" to be sprawled out next to the burb
