Get someone in your area to do some head work. Open up the ports, larger valves, heavier springs to keep control of the heavier valves and higher lift cam that you will be using.
This will raise the horsepower, but also raise the rpm which it is made, so make sure you change the rearend gear to match. Don't try to run a high performance engine like this with a gas mileage 2.75 or 3.08 gear. Pep this engine up and put a 3.73 or higher in there to get that heavy truck moving.
