Talking Re: Engine?

I would love to see a option #3 - 4 bolt 454 bare block that would have to be built from the ground up in your truck.
Nothing wild. 10.5 compression ratio, Dual Pattern cam, etc. Ground Pounder, but not sucking gas.

I like things old school myself.

I would stay away with option #1.

6.0 LS2 doesn't sound bad. But you will have to deal with the electronics.
I think The 6.0 LS2 V8 was rated at 395 hp with 400 lbft of torque and claimed to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in an estimated 5.8 seconds with quarter mile times around 14.2 seconds at 100.0 mph..
4-speed automatic 4L60-E and 4L70-E (only with LS2 6.0 liter engine)
Here is the 2006 review

Option #4 If you hit the Lotto ==>
