Re: Engine opinions

whats the budget first. what do you want to end up with second.
everything you have is set up for small block so, if it were me, I would go with the fuel injected small block crate engine for the simple reason that you get a more modern package but don't have to change everything to make it work. a few things will be needed, like possibly a fuel pump to run the new fuel injection, some wiring to swap over to the new engine wiring needs, possibly some throttle linkage or whatever is required there and an alternator and a rad flush/replacement. with any new engine a new water pump and rad are kinda a requirement in my mind and an alternator is also a good to have. the other stuff like hoses, filters, belts etc go with any engine rebuild/replacement.
just me talkin.
your truck.
do what you want and can afford.
above all, post pics, haha.
