Hi there, Just a suggestion, Im not very familiar with big blocks, but tinkered alot with small. Instead of installing a PCM etc to run the fuel injected big block, can you not convert the modern engine to use a carb / HEI ? I know Edelbrock makes an intake to convert a vortec 350 into a carb/HEi set up.
Just a thought..... Guess I like the "old school" stuff because I can still fix it at home.
