Yeah, he has a 454 too, but I`m not going that far
A SBC will bolt right in if you have the frame mounts. Not hard to do and most of the idiots at the dirt tracks around here do it a lot. I even had a car lot remove the V6 Buick and drop in a SBC in a Regal because he had no clue about what he had.
You say it knocks, but I can't hear it from here. Do you think it's a rod knock? Is it always there?
If you wasted the rod or main bearings, an easy check is to drain the oil and take a look....if it looks like metalflake paint, most of your bearings are now in your oil.
For a Chevy 350, you need to change the motor mounts. Maybe your trans too.
A Buick 300, 340, or 350 will bolt to your V6 frame mounts.
What if I bought a cheap truck with a 350 tbi in it? I found one for $750 or what about a 4.3 vortec
It also needs ECM, wiring harness and fuel pump... alot of thing needed yet
