I wouldn't even fuck with a big block. They're too loud and too bad on gas and if you use it like it was meant to be, they break shit.
The way you have it there is perfect and you won't feel bad driving it around. I like it. If anything just put some money into the 350.

i guess you need to be american to like it... those old pickups look appalling in my opinion. Tuning something like that is like tuning a fiat multipla.

Of course if he's just throwing in a stock crate engine and not doing it up then I guess he won't have that problem, but I assumed someone going to the trouble of swapping out a 350 for a big block would be looking at a built engine. Once you get a certain amount of power its easier to break shit. That's a fact. And i guess gas mileage doesn't matter either if it is a garage queen, but if you actually want to drive it then the difference between 8 mpg and 18 mpg adds up pretty quick.
