I have been considering the same thing. I have a 4.8 in there now but when I do the custom frame thing, I have been seriously considering the 6.0 or a 350carb. One major disadvantage to carb engine is that you aren't going to pass inspection

thats basically all it comes down to, whether or not you have to pass any type of emissions in your area.
Here in Ontario, its considered a hotrod if you have a motor that wasn't a factory option, so its based on 1980 standards, which was a locking gas cap.
