Is this truck a daily driver??
No matter what you decide your tranny will need to be built good and install a good converter. you cant go with an 80e because of the transfer case. With you being awd you wont have to do any work on the axles. what i ment by later is if the lq9 isn't making enough power for you then you can splurge for a 408 or what ever you want. but with the right tuning and the procharger the lq9 should run very well.
