hehe...funny. wiring and ECU's don't scare me in the least. i am not the one wanting to do this. and besides...100k out of a 350? are you high? if a 350 only lasts 100k something is WRONG. i have seen plenty go 300k plus. if you read a few posts up i SAID i would rather just swap in upgraded Suby stuff. you talk about more things to go wrong...what in the heck do you call "wiring and ECU"? i'm sorry, i don't recall a carb'd 350 having those. and if i'm not mistaken, water/mud and wiring/ECU's don't get along. so, lets see, which one is more prone to mess up in an offroad environment? i would say the one with the computer crap. but i still stand by what i said before...i would rather see a modded (even computer controlled) Suby engine in it than a Chevy 350...
