I really want to know how it's going after the swap, as far as the transmission holding up. I see a lot of people complaining about 10 speed failures still. I would like to do this swap in my work truck because it will never pull a trailer, or have to work hard.
Boy that sure brings back memories of my 69 chevy C-20 watching the speed and rpm climb and the gas gauge dropping at the same time trying to meet in the middle. It came factory with the 454 in it. And it got spiced up a bit.
For the front calipers I machined some steel spacers that are 4mm thick to go between spindle mounts and the caliper to center it on the rotors. If you're going PPV 6 pistons up front i haven't done them yet.

Have you looked into the 6 piston police tahoe caliper upgrade? I like the brake upgrades I did on my 14 sierra. I'm going to do the 6 piston calipers on the front of my 18 sierra with the camaro 4 piston calipers on the rear. Here's the rear of my 14
Yes, they actually fit without cutting the caliper down. I had some 4mm spacers made so I didn't have to keep track of 4 washers every brake change. One of the calipers was defective, and I had to swap it out at work. I didn't have a grinder available. There's 2000 miles on them now no issues...
I really think a lot of the failure rate depends on the kind of life the vehicle lives. I have a 13 sierra with over 240,000 miles and engine, tran, diffs and transfer case all going strong. And my 14 Sierra same thing with 280,000 miles.
Make sure you got all the old brake fluid flushed out. Reasons for spongy pedal are old water saturated brake fluid, wore out master cylinder and air in the system.
