The 4l60e should work fine. It's tight but worked OK with the LS3 swap into my 1980. Might be well to check out the max HP/torque rating of the truck unit in case you're planning to up the HP of the 5.3.

I will be using the 4l60e out of the truck. I plan to salvage all I can from the truck- 2001 Silverado.

That is a large trans, you should do some searching for swaps using 4l60. You may end up with some trans tunnel surgery. I wouldn't mind it to get the results, but not sure what you would be happy with
