Better is relative. You wanna have a cool truck that you can say "I have a 305 V6" and people cross their eyes and say What? so many times you wanna bump them to make sure they're not a broken record? You want a truck that can pull so hard it'll change the earth's rotation if it can get traction? Then yeah, you keep that big block GMC.
You wanna look like a chivvy truck and ruin one of only a few remaining GMC original powertrains left on the planet so your buddies can say "Hey man, I'm just like you!" Cookie Cutters Rule!" then pull it all out and go with the 350 sbc.
It's your truck, your choice. But you should figure out why it needs rebuilt and more importantly
IF it really does. Some parts are easy to find. Others are harder, but these old motors are TOUGH. They'll run forever as long as you keep oil in them. And they're
very hard to kill.
Whatever you choose, good luck. These are great old trucks. You're going to love it
How about some pics?
