Help with my plan

[ksjh1316]

Alright just trying to get everything in line before old orange 71 goes under the knife for the next year. I have replacement body piecie on order and just need to find a good long fleet bed in the Wichita area to have everything cosmetically ready.

The drive train is a whole other problem. I am going to switch from my 292 I6 to a 350 V8 and the motor will prob. come from GM Preformance (warranty too good to pass up). This truck only has ps but I plan to add aftermarket air. The questions I have is before I start this what other parts for the motor do I need to have ready and is anything from my I6 setup usable for the 350.

Secondly I have a four on the floor I think the 465/205 set-up the one where first gear is up and to the left and slow as hel*. Will this tranny hold up to a 350 and will it even be that fun to drive as I want the truck to run fast but not over the top. I do have a 12 bolt posi rear end already on the truck but unsure of the gears.

Any suggestions and help is appreciated or other ideas my budget is around 11k and 6k has already been chewed up by the body
