I'll put a disclaimer out here first that I'm not an expert and mostly self taught and have used a lot of info on this site. I would have loved to put an LS in my truck and the prices have since come down a little and probably will put one in in the future. But after figuring the costs with the tranny, gauges, fuel tank and pump and fans, exhaust etc, etc I decided to go with the 350/290 SBC Gen 1. I was able to bolt everything up to this motor and I am able to do all the work on it myself. I bought the crate motor off Ebay through Radley and it has been great. Not every truck is meant to smoke the tires at every light or tow a trailer etc. I use mine as a daily driver and it is atleast as quick off the line as any modern car/truck. It has no problem on the freeway or highways flowing with traffic. It feels faster than my Silverado with a 4.8L. The install is pretty straight forward.
