call me crazy, but i'm gonna have to suggest 5.3/4l60e. it'll be a little extra work (not too much) and they have plenty of torque for pulling trailers. just throwing that out there. i bought engine, trans, computer, harness, first foot of pipe (for the flanges), stock airbox, etc. for $1500. put in new fuel tank, in tank pump, fuel lines, fittings, fuel pressure regulator/filter, radiator, flowtech knockoffs, etc for another $1800. sold the wore out engine and trans for $400. leaving me with right around $3000 in the swap, with fluids and filters. runs great, starts with ease, pulls a trailer with a car on it no problem. i love it in every way. i'm not getting the mileage i think i should be, but i'm pretty sure that a better tune would fix that. i'm getting 16mpg avg. still better than *most* carb'd 350s...
