That's pretty cool. I have a 72 K10 that I plow with and I'd like to restore, and I've given some thought to a mild Pontiac 400 for the truck. But I already have a 396 with all the brackets and everything and I can't see starting from scratch on another Pontiac.
There is a lot of $ involved in doing an engine swap from scratch when you don't have any parts at all. Things like alternator and PS brackets, pulleys, timing cover, oil pan, oil filter adapter, stuff that you'd reuse if you had to rebuild your engine but you have to pay out of pocket for the first time you do a build.
