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.

I just milled my 243, took off 30 and had them CC'd after which measured in at 61.05

What are you intentions/goals for the truck?
