Default Chevy 5.3 swap help?

So what I've got is a 97 dodge ram 1500, 5 inch lift on 35s. Absolutely love the truck. It's almost more of a sentimental build, The truck is very clean and I've stuck a lot of money in it but the 318 just isn't enough motor at all. Definitely not putting a 360 in it either. I'm looking to do a LS swap in it, changing the motor mounts and trans obviously.. I know it seems ridiculous, might as well just go buy a chevy right? But i really want a sleeper with some ponies under the hood Trying to come up with some ideas on how to even go about it. Thinking either 6.0 or 5.3 and I'd like a turbo 400 trans, has anyone done this? Definitely plan on going through the whole motor, throwing a decent cam in it, and pushrods, pistons, bearings and lifters.. etc. I want at least 400hp. I'm just a girl so i could use some help guys!


<3 Thank You!
