Default '02 1500 Build Ideas???

Hey guys.

I was given a 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 with the Z71 package in 2011 as my first vehicle. Recently, it has met with catastrophic failure. The transmission case cracked, (junk 4l60s!!!) and a rod blew through the engine block, which was surprising to me because it is N/A, and runs ~55-60 PSI @ 2k rpms.

Needless to say, this truck has a special place in my heart, as it got me through both high school and college and never let me down until now.
I want to do a complete build. Engine, trans, axles, wiring, the whole deal.

What direction do you guys think it should go? I want to stay N/A, and I will be doing pretty much all labor short of machining and tuning.
Other than that, let me know what you guys think!

What are your goals for the truck, daily driver, off-road driver, towing rig, drag strip? What horsepower numbers are you looking for? do you have a budget in mind?
