It will generally cost twice what you budget.
Personally I would go with the 351, anything under the best part of 6 litres will not be worthwhile in such a heavy truck.

CRS are probably the best place to start for conversion gear.

Cheers

it's never a problem until it can't be fixed, even then it' only a minor set back

I thought marks were all GMH or GM?

Their bellhousings are good gear too.

I brought it about 4 years ago (give or take) So don't know if they still do. Only thing missing is the instructions. Shouldn't be to hard to get them.
