Ya, I thought over building the motor would be good for longevity. Likely using a new block the first time would have made that true.

I just looked at your build thread, hows the T56 in the truck? Sort of wondering if it still shifts crisp from the middle / front position. I have a T56 in my G-body and it's pretty awesome. The GM hyd throw-out bearing is a bit of a time bomb in my experience, so if that's the route you went I'd look into the tilton T56 hyd throw-out bearing. I will never use a GM one again.
