Looking for some opinions on an engine swap. I have an 87 short bed with a 305 and want to swap it out. My choices are go with a 87 to whenever 350 that will bolt right in and and switch the computer system to the 350. Or go to an LS engine: I would like to do a 5.3 LS engine but have concerns with getting all of my factory gauges working. What opinion do some of you have? I'm not in a hurry and looking to start getting the parts together and do it in the fall.

Thanks in adavance
