I'm looking for a newer powertrain for big Berta here. The 261 will not cut it and I'm missing too much parts to be worth working on it.
Now. In a perfect world I tend to go to a BBC 454 carb n.a. with a 5 speed Manuel pull out of many C10 of the 70s.
Or
Replace the in line 6 by an other one. Like a 6bt 5.9.... I know, I know I feel the hate, non Chevy party in a olddys. But any Diesel( because I want a truck to use it) that Chev used was no good or too big. The Cummins is easy ish and mecanical.
My plan is to use my big bolt for tow rig, lumber yard run, and Sunday drive.
So BBC or 6bt
