Any of the GM Vortec based crate motors will work in a 3rd gen.

Or go pick up the last issue of super Chevy they show you how to build a 405hp carb'd 350 for $1800.

Choose the last one if you want a base engine...there all pretty much the same engine so I would buy the cheapest and go from there.
