My opinion,
No 350, leave the six in it with a few upgrades, or a 261.

(edit) I made an 8,000 mile road trip, round the country in 28 days, in a 52 1 ton and a stock 235, had a great time, and no problems.

If you want a swap, do something special, it's a lot of work to put a 530 in and you only have what the other guy has..

I feel that there are two good choices, either mostly stock/stock appearing, or take the time and effort to do a very nice install on something different. And a 350 is not different, and plenty of them are just "stuck in there" (not very well planned or executed), don't be that guy.

It's your cat, you get to skin it, what's it take to make you happy?
