5.7 350 tbi rebuil

[C1500sidestep]

I decided it's time to do my first rebuild project. I have a 97 sierra sidestep with a 4.3. I came a across a great deal on a complete 95 350 tbi with 4l60e, computer and wire harness. I've heard this is a good engine to start with from many people. My plan is to not build it up to have a thousand horse power but to have some kick as it is going to be my daily driver. I am in no rush to build it because I have a running motor and trans in place so I wanna do it right and have fun doing it at the same time. Also budget wise I don't wanna break the bank but I also don't wanna be cheap and suffer the consequences down the line.

so far what I got planned to do is put it in a new crank port and polish replace internals, vortec heads, headers, exhaust. But ive also heard that any mods to this motor means that alot of tuning had to be done. Is that true? And also will I have to get a new ecm and write harness or could I use the ecm and harness from the 95 motor? Any thoughts opinions and advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Im all ears. Thanks!

Go with the 97 correct fuel system and computer. Dont keep the tbi system

So I would keep the computer and fuel system I currently have? And fuel system as in fuel pump fuel regulator and such or conversion to port fuel injection?

Convert to port and get a 97 computer and harness. Or if you dont have emissions testing carb it
