Would it be better to grab a 5.3L Truck, Impala motor? 6.0L Truck motor? 6.2L Truck motor? LS1, LS2, LS3? idk which one would be better.

That depends on your budget, HP goals, skills, and intended use. A really nice, budget friendly combo for daily driving and occasional track use is the 5.3 alum truck motor. Recent mag articles have gotten close to 500 hp out of them and they used to be readily available for around 1500. I think the secret's out now.
One other gem for you - read a bunch here, over at PT and LS1tech. You learn about what guys are doing and what it takes to do an LS conversion. It's better to be armed w info and make a good decision than jump in and have to change direction mid stream. Good luck!
