I'm pretty sure I want a big block at this point. You're making some good points and i think simplicity is gonna carry me. I asked my buddy to keep an eye out at his local junkyard and I'll do the same.

Trying to decide direction with first engine build

Watch craigslist and fb marketplace. Chances are pretty good you find a complete truck you can hear run.
Not for less than $1500 these days
Also, not a chance I'll run it mostly stock on tbi. I'll build it and run aftermarket efi. I do appreciate the suggestion though.
L29s are not TBI. They are MPFI. BIG difference. Mine is stock cam and tune and pulls most pass's in 4th gear. {Manual trans}
I say sell the engine in it, sell the block you have, and do what everyone does... LS swap the world! Get a 6.0 and have a good engine and strong engine.
Good to know. I'll try not to display my ignorance so quickly next time lol
Not a bad idea. I think I'd like to keep one block and it's rotating assembly around because I don't intend for this to be the last GM car I tinker on and it's nice to be able to build a motor outside the vehicle while keeping a running engine in the bay. I might see what I have laying around that I can sell to fund the build though.
