For a fairly direct swap, I'd check out GM's crate 383 If you wanted to get more involved, you could swap in a GENIII mill, such as a 6.0 or 408 stroker

Check the internal section here for what's needed to build the stroker, tons of info, just have to use the search and go to town

I'm guessing that the 6.0 swap would require the engine with accessories, harness, PCM, motor mounts, trans crossmember modification, driveshaft modification...the list goes on. I know that it's been done, and it sounds worse than it actually is, but in the end it's a nice swap
