If you buy a '96-'99 truck, you will have a Vortec 350 to start with. While the Vortec injection is not the best it is a good bit better than TBI. If you're wanting an engine that starts every time without having to pump the gas, you should consider staying with the EFI. While building a 383 would be the smart thing with 33-35" tires, a 350 can be built to perform decently. This also depends on your budget. A budget upgrade to a Vortec 350 would be the Ram Jet 350/HT383 cam (14097395) and a set of 1.6 roller rockers
