no bigger than 454 if I swap engines. But gonna rebuild the 350 also too.

This one I gotta see. You gonna couple that 350 with a 454??? Just so know, I think you'll only be able to get one engine at a time to fit Dave. And for real, that is alot of weight, even with the 454 TBI or Carbed, unless you do some mods to it, I still think you'll need to gear down. This sounds like a 4.56 ratio truck, but on the bright side, this one is the one with the SM465? You would be OK using granny low to get it rolling, and no OD, so if you have 4.10's in it now, you oughta be fine.

A single 804 ci block would work better than two

If you can, I'd get the 4.10s put in... Your truck will be much happier pulling that weight if you do

Well if can 454 vortec I'll regear to 4.56 cause I also want to run 35's with 3in body lift and spindle lift on 16.5 rims.

You need to get off that 16.5 rim stuff buddy. Thats Old school and those tires are uncommon now which means they'll be expensive. You are better off finding you a set of factroy GM 17inch.

i'd put a 454 in and save the 350 for a smaller vehicle.

I already have a set of 16.5 rims. I can get set of 35's that are generals from tirerack for around 800 bucks
