Re: Small block or Big Block

HT383 would probably accomplish your goal just fine. Or the Vortec 350 4 bolt crate engine. Either one is a one piece rear main and roller cam, which takes care of the 2 weak points on the SBC.
It's the ancillary equipment that will nickel and dime you on a BBC conversion. I've had a 454 in one of these trucks, it was fun but they are an expensive engine to build and install.
