Default Tired Vortec Engine. . .

So this is my first post on here! Was happy to find the forum and addicting to go through all the stuff on here

Okay so I have a 1997 GMC Suburban K1500 with a engine that is needing replaced. I am looking for suggestions on a easy swap that will not require changing the computer and allow me to use my current parts (IE. Alternator, Water pump, Starter etc. . .)

I know I could just replace with stock which I know i can get brand new from Jegs for about $2k. I would like to have just a little more horse power though as I enjoy off roading and also looking to get a toy hauler to tow around in the near future. What can I throw in my truck that won't break my bank?

Thank you in advance!

Welcome to the forum.

You could get a GM crate engine which comes with a 3/36 warranty.

Why not a 383 stroker? The heads will fit a 350 block...
