Zeus(Justin) has or had a CUCV too. You may want to contact him as well. FWIW 350 swaps are pretty straightforward. Even converting to fuel injection is pretty easy. You just need to decide TBI(throttle body injection) which is basically a carb with a fuel injector on top, or multi port injection where there is one injector per cylinder. Multiport is more efficient and powerful, but costs more and is more complicated. They take different intake manifolds, but some manifolds are universal and can do both. Single plane manifolds make great power at usually a small powerband up high while dual plane manifolds make less power but run over the whole powerband better. Also, if you get to the point where you're looking for parts, we have the summitracing west coast distribution center here and they almost always have chevy 350 parts in their clearance rack like ceramic coated headers for $50-75 or so. If you want me to keep an eye out for anything in particular for you, just let me know.
