I looked into doing the same thing to my 90 Suburban. I found a couple 350 Vortec engines around here for $750. I figured I would have $1100-1200 in it by the time i picked up the intake and built the EGR valve.

You can also pick up a 350 premium long block at Blaines for $640 + core. I put one in my 87 SWB I had a couple of years ago, and it still runs great. They usually try to hose you on the core, but a full core charge is only $400. They come with a 12/12 warranty, too.

If you need any help with the swap and whatnot, I am in Arlington.
