Many options, but a built 350 will hold together. I had a 78 SWB 1/2 with a 406 tunnel ram, 488 gears and 48 inch tires. I bought it beat and continued to beat on it. The P/O had ATI trans out of Baltimore MD build it, he had it a year and I had it for a year until MD changed the lift laws.
It did have a maual reverse valve body ........
Build it right, and like Mike says a big cooler , I am guess it's for the Blazer in your Avitar.
More weight, towing a 400 will do better in the long run, one 400, how many 350's?
