If you have a TBI motor, the electronics are a cinch. You can drop any smallblock Chevy engine into your truck. A 350 would be a nice upgrade. With a CPI motor, you are looking at some wiring differences or you could just go carb'd, but that isn't an option for some given state inspections and all..

if your gonna put a v8 in it i would definantly put a 350 not a 305. it wouldn't be any harder and there is more power. but i would'nt go to a third gen i would get it out of a 60s car depending on your states emission requirements.
