My view is, the Big block will look stock, never know you did it....I think stock should be left to people who want a stock vehicle, I much preffer "improved" vehicles ,aftermerket intakes, lowered 2wd, agressive tires on 4wd...my point is that small and big block chevy engines are technological dinosaurs. That does not make them bad, just more like last years news papers...there is info in it, just not current.
Put the LS in it, get it right (that means leave the FI), and make Big Block power with small block weight ,16 MPG, and you will even be able to start it this winter to get to your ski equipment.
