Jeep Swap! TPI/Vortec/LT1 I can't get help anywhere else...

Okay I've tried with no success. I'm getting ready to do a V8 swap in my jeep and I have everything to do it except the engine. Mainly because I can't decide what 350 one to go with. I want a 350 5.7 Fuel injected (not TBI) engine. I've been looking at a TPI, Vortec or Lt1. Problem is... its a jeep so its going to get wet... muddy... and jard around. So which engine would handle the jeep better in your opinion.

Thanks for you time everyone!

I wouldn't rule out a TBI engine if the price is right.

Well I'm looking for horsepower and Torque with decent fuel economy. I'm on a $1200 budget for the engine.
