I think everyone will probably agree that putting an LS7 in a regular cab truck is a damn good idea. Backing it up with a built 4L80-e is another one! Good luck and let us know what it's like to drop the hammer on that thing!

Just out of curiosity, where are you located? I'm guessing Kuwait, Qatar, or UAE.

motor is based the same, run truck accessories and you can keep AC, and the harness is basically the same in some aspects, some areas need to be rerouted. it can be done

that's a bitchin truck. you shouldn't have a problem having the motor physically fit in the engine bay. correct me if I'm wrong but it's about the same dimensions as a LQ9 right? T-56 would be pretty sweet. you going to go all n/a or you planning on some nitrous or turbo?
