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.

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.
