Just a thought - since you plan to do the engine and harness anyway, instead of a jegs engine how about a gen iii 5.3 LM7? You should be able to find a good used one with harness and ecu for less than a grand, and with some ingenuity and the info available on this site and others probably get it done for around the budget it will take to do the 350.

But then, based on my license plate, you can see I’m biased. I just like an engine that starts the first time in any kind of weather, runs great on ethanol pump gas, and puts out more HP than the 350.
