Ok, I'm ready to start setting up a new (crate) engine for my 95 eclb 4x4.
It currently has the 5.7 TBI with only 260,000 miles, but I'd like to start collecting NEW parts that will bolt onto the NEW engine.
I really don't know if i could go to the vortec and not sure if I'd even want to. I don't know anything about them, but the TBI has been "perfect".
I like to tow and get decent mpg. I think I have ~260 h.p. with the original engine.
Is it better to go with the exact direct replacement or can I change it up a bit?
OR, even have a proffesional rebuild............? Only uses 1/2 quart every 3,000 miles if I'm tough on it...
Thanks for any help...
