What do you want?
You can do a 390 or 410, but you won't be able to bore it far enough to make the 428 bore.
You can go up to about 438 with the 4.05 bore and the max (I think max) 4.25" stroker crank.
You do not need all that to get your truck well past the brakes, suspension and steering, but....
Just look at the parts list for these, and pick and choose what you like.

Need to use my block, none of those laying around, especially not for the price of mine. (Free)

- Custom pistons will allow you to dial in the compression ratio, use more efficient rings, and since you can have them in any diameter you'll only have to remove enough cylinder metal to clean the cylinders.
- Roller cam which will eliminate break in concerns and allow you to use a modern oil that I believe will give you a bump in fuel economy.
