It might be more cash, but i have thought of a mild performance rebuild on the existing 4.3 thats in mine at some point. It seems to me to be the ideal engine for these trucks unless you are going racing.
Its lighter than a V-8 and can probably make as much horsepower as a mild 350 (but les tq), stock, it already will bury the speedo needle easilly --
a little more compression, better flowing heads and more fuel and who knows --- maybe not exactly 350 territory, but would likely easily surpass 305 numbers
