I still don't understand why I would need a chip burnt when the computer
will no longer work anything on the engine, or am I mistaken on that also?

I decided on the 350 HO turn-key. Surpose to pick it up
tommorrow morning. i think it will be plenty of HP for what
I'm wanting. I went ahead a got the turn-key package since
I would prefer to have everything new when I finish.

Looks like the only problem, and it's not major, is my truck
currently has the internal fuel pump in the tank, and this
engine has the external fuel pump on the enginge. Can i
leave the internal fuel pump as it is and just add a regulator?

Swapping over to this engine, if I'm understanding correctly, I
just use the wiring that I need and leave the engine computer
intact, and don't have to reprogram the chip?

Also, any recommendations for headers for the 350 HO engine?

Thanks again for your input.

Below are a few pics of the truck I'm working on.

I think I've figured out what I'll need to complete the job.
Of course I'll know more when I start pulling the old engine.

I've heard it's best to break in a new engine using the
cast iron manafolds, and then after it's broke in, install
the headers and exhaust system, So I think that's the
way I'll do it.

I'm not in a big rush to finish the truck since I don't
need it right now. I have a 99' GMC also, So I'm planning
on taking my time and have it the way I want it when I
finish. I'll probably get a new trans for it also before I put
it back on the road.

I think the 350 HO engine is based on a 93 block with 96
to 99 vortec heads, So when i buy parts for it, do i get the
parts for 96?
