If I remember correctly, the 5.7 is based upon the same architecture as the 4.6 in the LS 460 which is a direct injection motor. How about you give us the 4.6 with some changes to make it more truck specific and put it in front of the 6 speed? Maybe we could see a little better mileage for those of us who don't need all the power of the 5.7 but still want/need a 1/2 ton truck.
