Glad to see you found this website! One thing you have going for you is unlike a Chevy, your truck probably has a Dana 60 rear axle, and there are many ratio choices for you. If it was my truck and I wanted to make a daily driver out of it, I would consider keeping the very reliable Turbo 400 and change the rear axle ratio to a 3.54:1. The torque of the 351E will pull a tall gear no problem, and at highway speeds you won't be spinning all too fast. Since I see you live in Sylmar, you might want to talk to Hooper's in San Fernando about your rear axle.
