Right now these are my thoughts:

-stick with the 350 and put my freshly rebuilt 700r4 behind that
-forget the entire idea of a swap and get to work on paint/interior and actually be able to drive the truck instead of having it down

All thoughts welcome, it is cheaper to talk it out than make a mistake in choice.
Careful! That's the route I thought would be best! I ended up with a huge hole in the side of my burb and haven't had it on the road since 2009!

If you want to go the diesel route, maybe find a 6.5L... they can take more boost than the 6.2 which probably caused that crack issue
