Default What engine to replace my 1995 5.7

The 95 has 200K miles on it and its time for more power not sure what I should do though. Rebuild the stock with better pistons, heads, cam and headers get a 96+ 5.7 vortec and add cam, headers or spend the 4900 bucks on a 5.7 crate engine that comes with all accessories and pcm that has like 350HP and 385 ft lb torque that goes right in. That's alot of money not sure how much it would cost to rebuild the stock and do it right.

if ya have the dough, spring for an LS 1 or LS 2 ... they can be had at several sand rail shops with computer for about $4000.

otherwise a cummins/ allison combo would blow your socks off [sm=badbadbad.gif]
