Wouldn't waste my time with a TB spacer.
Vortec heads are decent, but you need to get a completely different TPI intake to fit onto the heads. They are available, not hard to find, but just one more thing to buy.

And yea, SLP runners, I got a used seat for $140. I'm sorry, but $350 seems a tad bit overpriced. Why are they so expensive?

Cause everything with SLP's name on it is overpriced.

I also know that TPI was designed for the 305 in mind, not the 350, so injectors would have to fall into the mix with the swap. I'll be looking for an old Vette 5spd as well (not a fan of 6 gears) since I'm pretty sure the 700R4 would last 2 or 3 runs at most.

I don't know what you mean by that statement of TPI being for 350's over 305's. The 700R4 isn't that bad of a trans. Also, its stronger then a 5 speed.
