5.7 TBI to Carb swap + Rebuild Questions

I'm not opposed to doing Vortec heads, but to be honest I'm a bit new to GM power plants. I have know I can replace stock with aftermarket, but I'll admit I'm lacking in knowing how to mix & match parts from other cars, on GM engines. Is the swap as simple as getting Vortec heads, getting them...

5.7 TBI to Carb swap + Rebuild Questions

95 Tahoe 4x4, ~5 sec of cranking before starting

1995 Tahoe 4x4, ~205k. Issue: The truck has to crank for about five seconds before it starts up. Once it starts and is running, motor drives fine. If I drive a bit, park for 5 min or so, and then try to start, it fires up like any other car. The longer it sits after driving the longer it takes...
