A lot of the people here are deadset against V/8 s in the old Chevy trucks.
True. But a lot of the comments here are about the fact that most of the V-8 conversions are crate 350 Chevies. They are like a-holes.
Be creative. What about a 389 or 421 Pontiac tri-power? Or a Chrysler firedome hemi? Or a..........? There are plenty of options. Why live like the other 95%?
And as Colin sez, You don't have to have 8 cylinders to keep up.
