97 vortec 5.7 ?

[Brian H]

What are the goods of this engine vs the tbi or tpi injected 5.7? Is it a good canidate for an offraod trail rig or buggy? About how much do they go for with the wiring harness and computer?

I have the vortec in my 97 1500. It has some power, better flowing heads than the older models. They have head gasket problems, and I just replaced the intake manifold gasket at 150k. I like it but for a trail rig I think the TBI setup would be more practical, simpler and cheaper.
