Question 350 small block or 572 big block?

Hello, I have a question for everybody out there with a Silverado. Would a 572 big block fit in my 2000 silverado? I have a 350 small block currently running but i want more power, who doesn't right? So I saw this engine on youtube and was shocked at how much power that thing has! so what should i do? Modify my small block or swap it?

IMO stay with the small block, I love big blocks but there are so many things you would need to change to do the swap that I don't think it would be worth the trouble.

so what can I do to get more power out of my small block? I already have a cold air intake and a throttle body spacer. I was thinking of doing something electrical next... like msd ignition or something like that. Any ideas??
