Basic 350 roller-cam crate motor from GM is like $2000, a used TPI say $250, Harness ECM and PROM say $500-600, set of injectors $200. Then a 700R4 from a reputable builder say $2000. Fuel pump say $150. Then radiator, springs, driveshaft mods, automatic column, engine mounts, misc add another $1000. You could stay under $8k and do the mods. You might even have enough there to get disc brakes (which with the crossmember could also get you later V8 mounts)
I have a '90 Corvette TPI engine in my '83 K20 with 3.42 gears. It is a night and day difference from the 350 that was there. Mileage jumped from 14ish to 18ish. It is so much nicer pulling hills than the carbed engine was.

I see you are in TN. Are you planning to go to the GM truck show July 14?
