I think you should ask a highly qualified mechanic.

Unless things have changed in the last few years all the externals should be a direct bolt on.  If you can get a complete 5.7 form air cleaner to cats, and computer that would make it easier though.  Your engine mounts and radiator and hoses should work fine.  If you do find a 5.7 and decide to put that in Summit racing has a 383 stroker kit for the vortec engines.  It cost around 1000 dollars. 
Their # is 1-800-230-3030
Good luck
