If you are looking for a daily driver, I would get a rebuilt 4.3 and go back with that. It will cost a lot less than changing over to a 350 and would be dependable.

I guess if you can use the complete accessory drive from the V6, I might consider it. I didn't know they were compatible. It's a lot of expense for 300 hp and going back in time from FI to carb.
Junkyards are littered with 4.8 or 5.3 Vortecs. You're fuel system is already there for the most part and you're going to have to redo the exhaust anyway.

If it's a daily driver and the only thing wrong is a dead long block? I stand by my statement.Very little gain? Going from a dead motor,to a new one,seems pretty significant to me. But hey,Im new here...
I would love that to be an option, but unfortunately I didn't budget for this. I'm gonna have to finance the majority of the build. And my options are more limited because I'm tied to a supplier that has financing options. Out of curiosity, what should I expect to pay for that used engine and trans combo?
Ok, that being said do you think the 350 is the correct choice for what I'm looking for? Really looking for consistent everyday driving as opposed to power and speed.
I have seen that engine pop up on CL and ebay in my search for an engine. Would that fit my trans though? Trying to stay away from adapter plates if at all possible.
