LS for torque

Ok . . .... a big truck needs big 'umph' to get things moving.

The subject of topic (CC Sq body dually) currently has a 7.4/t400/3.73 combo. There's a 6.0/4l80e sitting close by waiting for action. Internet research say's that while the 6.0 can/will do the work, the 7.4 will do it better below 2K making it questionable if the swap is worth it. I've come across too many 6.0 Burb/CC owners out there getting 11-12-ish MPG's so it's not like the milage factor will pay for the swap unless there's a bunch of driving.

So, I tried finding LS stroker builds geared toward torque. I haven't found much out there so I possibly need better search descriptions or something.

Anyone know of any builds?
Suggestions?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
