To answer your question, no, it really isn't feasible. It'll be expensive, and suspension will be really mad.
You could do a408 stroker, though. That'd be cool.

Edit: oh and you are crazy... your suspension and transmission would have to be replaced. with the lowering cost of big trucks, especially diesels... it would almost be cheaper to buy a 1500 with a diesel from another famous maker.
