Man that's super info. above... I know Vette has a nice write-up too, always does. I didn't have to "guess" personally, new harness for the SI. Real happy with the Delco 10SI.

Speak of Chevy, watched this Youtube last night, it doesn't declare a GM. More recent stuff, 2000ish forward. Ive heard gm engines can go 300K, 2000ish forward?

Can vouch for Tundra 5.7 - with covid-flation and stuff. It's the first driver I've bought worth a lot more than my cost, when covid hit, though was a good deal even then. $ doesn't matter though, it's the last driver-truck I'll ever have. Only downside is a BA Crew cab, for only a 5.5 bed. Can't even sleep in it, but all seats recline as needed in a pinch......... Dynamite drive, super comfortable....Factory duel exhaust, even with the cap and BA chassis rivals my BBC Chevy short with HEI & 67 HP heads, 1/4 mile or such - maybe better, it seems real close, to 60-70 anyway - ish. Correct wheels trim level Rock Warrior. 2013, had 70K, now 83K. Apparently I really like it☺

I bought a new 2005 Tundra beforehand, this is the replacement. It was in great shape, no problems for 90K miles when I sold it. 15 years cost me 18K, I call that a win. I thought my "firm" price out, including the 1500 cost for maintenance to be paid by the new owner. Problem was I caught five ready to buy on the first day

So realistically, it shouldn't have cost me more than 1K a year to own.

Don't care what the weight limits are on those old Tundra, pre-5.7, they're rated too high, the chassis isn't much for light duty....I towed a lot with that 2005, well within "limits" and trailer brakes, the brakes on the truck said all I needed to know, it ran through them - weight limits favored "the big three" for sure.....The 5.7 is closer to a 3/4 ton.
