What GM create engine to buy for 3/4 ton 72 C20

Hello, a few months ago the 350 in my C20 started knocking. Instead of rebuilding it I am looking at the small block create engines by GM. http://www.chevrolet.com/performance/crate-engines Specifically the SP350/357 looks pretty good with the Vortec heads and hydraulic roller cam,
little expensive though.http://www.gmperformancemotor.com/parts/19367082.html anyone have any experience with these and know if it works with mechanical fuel pumps? And what parts do I need when buying a deluxe engine, also would this engine work with my current "thin belt" setup and pulleys? Or do I need a whole different serpentine system. I plan on keeping the same SM465 and Eaton no slip rear end. What crate engines are you guys using? Or am I better off rebuilding mine? Thanks.
