Engine swap

I have a 96 k1500 with a 305 in it right now. I believe its matched to the m50 transmission. Im looking at swapping in a 350 that was built in 200 and need to know if it'll match with the transmission that's in the truck?

Lift/Tire Size

I have a 96 k1500 sitting on a 2500 frame and am wondering if i'll be able to fit 315s with a 3 inch lift? Also, does anyone know a good place to order a lift kit at a reasonable price? Been looking at rough country lift kits and just wondering if I could get one cheaper somewhere else. Thanks!
