What do you use your truck for? Do you want a BBC to be different? I installed a TBI 454 from a 87 suburban in my dually, But, I tow a trailer. As a daily driver, I'd look to other options to be different. My truck weighs 6700# and I get 12mpg w/o the trailer. Thats good for a truck that size. The WOW factor will also be there with a 383 and a line lock. Good luck, Ron
