I would definitely buy it at that price. Not neccesary for your build though. The LS will get a lot better mileage for cruising and will propel your C10 plenty quick. I'm a BBC guy, and live the torque and power...but be prepared to stop for gas a lot. Another torque option is the 400 SBC, I run these quite a lot with longer rods and lighter pistons. I have one n the garage now that makes more than 500 lb foot of torque...but again, MPG won't touch a fuel injected LS.
