Over the decades, I have seen several white winter holidays in Tucson, and with the screwy weather we have been getting, don't be surprised if you see one there.
And yes, definitely please post some pix of your truck !!

Just my curiosity as to why you want to replace a light 350 with a much heavier big block, unless you've got one of those humongus off-road trailers that you pull?
Pictures please!!!!!!
