I plan on using the same pully system, new belts, fan, ect. Besides the few odds in's and outs, what else should I buy before biting the bullet? I want this to be afordable as possible. Not really looking for HP gains, I have a 2 muscle cars for that. This will be my DD and I want a reliable truck. Thanks, any help would greatly appreciated.

those goodwrench crate motors are every where. about two months ago i bought one with 30k miles for 400 dollars completes carb to pan. i would buy a used one and buy a top end package for it. eldelbrock sells a top end package for around 1500 that they rate at 425 hp or around there. thats the way i would go
