Engine options for swap to 66 Suburban

I've read and searched this forum for hours and still wonder what might be the best LS engine and transmission to put in my Suburban. I'm going to try to find a complete package at the salvage yard with trans, harness, etc. Plans will be to tow around a 5000 pound camper long distances. I assume that a 4.8 is just not going to be good. So it looks like its between a 5.3 and 6.0. The 5.3 being much more affordable. What would/have you used for this? What year range engine is a better choice? Will a 4l60 do the job? I have a recently rebuilt 4l80 from a 97 Suburban that was hooked to a 7.4. Do the big block transmissions bolt to the small blocks? Year range for transmission compatibility? Thanks for any opinions.
