Don't shy away from the Gen VI, it's a great engine. Priority main oiling, all are 4-bolt mains and use factory roller lifters. Can't use a mechanical fuel pump, but that's a moot point when you'll be running TBI. Look for an aluminum timing cover with only 6 bolts.
There are a couple of connectors that are different on a TBI, but most is the same.
