Not a truck motor really, though it is kind of being used in the newer Silverados. I am sure those have the truck L92 intake though. From wikipedia:

L76
See also the Vortec 6000 L76
L76 was originally Holden's version of the 6.0 L (5,967 cc/364.1 cu in) Generation IV engine. While displacement on demand technology was disabled on Holdens, this feature is enabled on the 2008 Pontiac G8 GT and subsequently re fitted in the 2009 model Holdens with AFM enabled, but only on models fitted with the 6L80 Automatic Transmission. The engine also meets Euro III emissions requirements. Output is 348 hp (260 kW) at 5600 rpm and 376 ft·lbf (510 N·m) at 4400 rpm for the Holden variant, and 361 hp (269.8 kW) and 385 ft·lbf of torque (526.5 N·m) for the G8 GT.[3]

Applications:

2006 Holden VZ Commodore
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 GT
2009 Holden VE Commodore
2009 Holden WM Statesman / Holden WM Caprice
2009 Holden VE UTE
About the Vortec L76:

See also the automotive L76
The Vortec 6000 L76 is a Generation IV aluminum small block V8 truck engine and features variable cam phasing, along with Active Fuel Management. It can be considered the replacement for the Generation III LQ9 engine. It produces 367 hp (265 kW) at 5400 rpm and 375 ft·lb (495 N·m) at 4400 rpm. Production started in late 2006.

L76 applications:

2007-present Chevrolet Suburban
2007-present Chevrolet Avalanche
2007-present Chevrolet Silverado
2007-present GMC Sierra
2007-present GMC Yukon XL
If you got a L76 you would not need a new intake, unless you wanted one. The AFM disabled L76 is basically a 6.0L version of the LS3 (6.2L). I am not sure of specs on the cam or valve spring rates.
