I would go with the diesel. Not fan of the gm diesels, but, like anything else, if maontained, should take care of you. As well, if it gives you grief in the long run, it would be much simpler to swap a 4bt cummins in...
i would go diesel, cuz that 5.7 in a 3/4 ton burb is only gonna get 10-12 mpg
I love it, love it, love it. The only problem is budget, budget, budget. Plus, it's going to be a daily driver but I do like where your head is at.
While we're on the topic; anyone have any experience with the Isuzu diesel engines/swaps. I've read over the isuzudieselswapper.com website in the past. Sounds like an interesting option, although my dad's company that uses the actual NPR trucks is not a big fan of the engine. Lots of cracked pistons or heads or something of the sort.
Great thread.
