But, if you are talking about just the engine, there is almost no end to what's available for the LS/LT. The 6.6L is basically a 6.2L LT with a forged stroker crank and an iron block, so anything for a 6.2L will very likely work on a 6.6L (waiting for someone to stick an LT-5 blower on one). These engines will be very popular crate engines, and GM wasted no time in getting them in their performance catalog. The 7.3L is kind of a 'wait and see' at this point.
Yeah I meant the truck as a whole. Again it won't matter to most people, but to some it will.

I understand as a crate the sky's the limit. Just another LS!
