Don't sweat it though - you're probably doing more important things with your time and money. But I do cringe a little bit seeing it full of recycling.
Thanks Potter, truth is I sometimes wish I'd left the original 350/350 combo in there. The main reason I went the route I did was for the added power and reliability. I went to the C10 Nationals yesterday and I think it's safe to say that anything BUT original is the norm these days. I'd estimate 85% of all the trucks had a modern drivetrain. If a guy wanted to stand out of the crowd now, a clean 350 would do it.
