Thanks for the heads up about vvt and afm, etc.

While doing research I discovered that the engine in the truck is a code 10243880: "96-up 350 cu-in 2 & 4-Bolt Vortec Roller" I was under the impression the engine was much older than this. As long as it's salvageable, I really don't see any real reason to swap it out with anything fancier.
Up until now I've had my leg in a cast, but now I've been able to get to work crawling around and working on it. The frame underneath is simplicity itself: just two straight c-channels, and after pulling out the old interior I discovered that someone used 2x2s to space the roof to increase the headroom.
I'm still open to suggestions for this engine (keep it/swap it out/mods?) at the moment it is equipped with a 4-barrel carb, but I still prefer the idea of fuel injection. Thanks again for any info.
