All kinds of info here. What's in my truck is an 87 360, with 80K miles. It has an XE262, performer (small port 318/360), factory original 308 heads with matching springs, cheap headers, and an Edelbrock 750 AFB. Basic, easy, pulls from idle, runs on 87, I dont ever see the high side of 4500, nevermind 5+, and it will spin the 31s w/4.10s all thru first gear. With a running engine to start with, I think all of it cost me about $900. That's what i'd do. It's a truck. It needs torque, and mileage.

Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.
