This is exactly what I considered, with an 8 speed. I'm pretty sure even an L83 with an 8 speed would walk away from my truck just because of gearing. But the cost adds up to accommodate the Gen V powertrain compared to my Gen 3/4 components. I did an estimate and had the same cost in parts such as gauges, motor/trans mounts, exhaust mods, cooling system mods, 4WD to 2WD conversion, and various adapters.I’ve started using L86 dropouts. They can be found reasonably priced with low miles. They also come with 8 or 10 speed automatics. Awesome torque and horsepower for the money.
