    It has crossed my mind but if I have to go that route or revamp my whole cooling system, the 348 is going to a new home and a 5.3 or 6.0 will go in it's place this winter. It's a cool motor, but honestly, I would feel a little more comfortable driving this thing across the states with a modern motor if this thing is going to fight me.
