I would ECHO the dump the 305 crowd.

I'll give you a fresh idea. In late model Silverados and their ilk there is a 6.0 ALLOY blocked engine that might actually give you BETTER gas milage. and 335 hp and 350 ish foot pounds of torque while weighing 60# less weight.

Wrecking yards in So Cal are selling them for around 1,200 to 1,600
