Why don't you just put in a 454 or 350, both make great torque with a little bit of cash, and at least out here in Los Angeles they are way more plentiful than a caddy 500?
The engine in there now will run and drive. Its just WAAAAY under powered for the truck. Why dont I put in a 454 or a 350? Simply because, I like to be different. And, I have read on here about how much torque a caddy engine makes and thats my main goal. Torque.

(not to sound like an ass, but...) All in all, Its my truck and my opinion. If I wanted a SBC or a BBC I would put one in it. But I'm not. I'm either going BB Caddy, or 5.9 Cummins. I will probably do the Caddy then do the Cummins later.
