one thing to consider/remember... the GM v6 vs. the V8: the v6 is basically a V8 that they chopped off... the pistons and stroke was the same (as I recall) basically they designed the 8cyl. and the 6 was an afterthought... the 8 has always been the chevy forte... and always the better choice
I had a vortec v6 in a pickup... it blew thermostats monthly, the low end wasn't there and the quality of parts didn't impress me... I also rebuilt a 350 for another truck and it was a monster... the V8 was so much smoother and plenty of choices....
not to say the v6 is crap... a friend has a s/c regal and that car hauls!
another thing to remember... 4000 will get you a new crate built V8... dunno about the 6 though
