Best Chevy EFI engine..Supercharge the one You Have

[Brandon Shehan]

In your application I would recomnmend either leaving the 350 in there and 
supercharging it (most cost effective it'll give you that low down power) or 
going with a 6.5 GM Diesel with Turbo....We just got some 6.5 T M1113 Heavy 
Hummers at work (I wear camouflage to work)to replace 6.2 M1097 Heavy Hummer 
in the shelter carrier role (12,000 lbs GVW) and the power is outstanding.  
Fitting a big block injected Chevy in there would be a pain.  Supercharging 
(Vortec, et al) would be the ticket....a properly enhanced 350 is all the 
power you'll need.
