What could i expect out of that? Im not a great mechanic i know some but i can figure it out.

 

Probably another 40-50hp and a much quicker 0-60 with the converter

 

How hard is the installation of all of it?

 

Well that really depends on the person....I can knock out a cam swap in about 2-3 hours, springs will take about an hour, torque converter probably 3 hours or so...It will go a lot faster (especially the torque converter) if you have access to a lift so you can stand under there instead of lying on the ground.

 

What would a decent long block?

 

What?

 

Your truck has 4.10's..... all the 2500HD 6 liters in that era could have. Heavy rims and tires aren't helping. 4.56's wouldn't hurt at your point either. But the cam and convertor are great ideas. Similar to what I am doing to the 2004 in my sig except I am going a few steps further adding 243 heads, a NNBS intake manifold and headers. But....... also swapping in my LQ9 and pulling the trucks LQ4.

 

you could knock it out in a weekend with some help.

IMO converter is easier than a cam swap knowledge wise, but both are fairly easy.

Cam has a few little tricks that need to be done. so REad up!!

I bought my cam springs for $300 and converter for $375 both used on here in the for sale section. Just keep an eye out for deals!

 

Supposed to say what would a good long block be? Price range, power, etc

 

a 347ci long block is $6k+

thats one of the cheaper ones
