Thanks! That's all helpful advice.
I've been looking at the crate motors from GMPP. To get an engine in the truck fast, I really should just buy the base 290 horse 330 lb-ft 350. Later on, I can buy the Vortec heads and upgrade it for another $560 bucks. Then I'll pick up 40 hp and 50 lb-ft.
...Unless I feel like I can afford the step up initially.
What about clearancing the steering box? What did you guys do about that?
