My Truck currently has 230000 miles and the Previous Owner drove it for 180000 mile before me and was not easy on it and i'm looking for a replacment motor
The options i'm considering are
A 350 Vortec that has been residing in a plastic bag on a engine stand for the last 10yrs
it has less the 10000 miles and has no known problems if i was to use this one it would be mildly built to 300-325hp with a ZZ4 or Stock LT4 cam and coupled to a mildly built 4L60E
OR
A Stock LQ9 No cam, Headers, And a tune Coupled to Built 4L60E that i got from a friend of mines Totaled LS1 vette
Both Engines Would Be Freshened up with new gaskets and possible bearings and E-Fans
I'm looking for both Power Per Dollar and MPG per Dollar
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
