Most people are going to tell you it's better to measure to see if you will have pvt issues.
On the heads, how big of a valve are you going to? The 5.3 block is a small bore motor and your options are limited, if any.
For a otherwise stock 5.3, your cam selection is big. I see no mention of a stall but you do mention you have gears.
It's going to be a dog out of the hole with a stock converter.
