91 TBI or LS1 in a 71 C10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am considering buying a 91 chevy truck to pull the motor out of and install in my 71. How hard it a tbi install to do. The truck has a 350 with a turbo 400 trans on it so I don't have to worry about the electronics on the transmission.

I am also looking at a wrecked 99 Silverado that I can buy for $600. It's a 5.3 automatic. Everything is there except the radiator and the starter.

What would you guys go with? I know I could have the 350 up and running faster and less expensively, but the LS would probably be nicer.
