sounds to me like you have an idea of what you want, but not sure how to get it.

6-7k means youll have alomst zero bottom end, and a big heavy truck needs bottom end to get moving.

93 octane really means nothing

nitrous is an easy power adder to add.

i guess my real question is, what are you planning to do wiht the truck? for the 5k budget you have, an 8psi turbo'd completely stock 4.8/5.3 will run circles around your old technology SBC...and get good mpgs, AC, powersteering, run in ice cold weather, reliable etc etc...
