Thoughts...

Ok, I appreciate all the help from everyone on my dilemma with my valve covers and electrical issues. I have a serious question, my Firebird is my daily driver right now, but I am looking for a small efficient pickup to drive to and from work in its place. I was thinking of picking up a 350 small block having it blueprinted and machined and rebuilding it with a 4 bbl carb to replace my 2.8 L v-6. The questions I have are 1) Will is bolt on to my 700R4 transmission or am I going to have to get a th350 shorttail for it? 2) Is the engine wiring that much different or can I use my existing wiring setup? 3) Will it actually be worth the effort?

Any suggestions would be appreciated
