Motor choice?

So I am in the parts collecting stage on my build. A bit of background on this truck:

1951 Chevy pickup
TH400 or 700R4
9" rear
17/18" wheels
S-10 front section of the frame with a custom tubed out rear frame
homebuilt 4 link rear with Airride
front airride

Now the motor has me stumped. The orignal plan was to run an LS based motor and pump that up, but I REALLY hate wires with a passion. I cna get someone else to come in and wire it for me, OR, I can just run a regular carburated 350.

The reason for the injection was simple. This is a car I am building for my wife (Who drives BMW's and Landrovers). I need something ot be reliable, yet still have plenty of get up and go.

What do you guys think (keeping in mind my aversion to wires).

Dima
