First things first - I am new to the stovebolt forum, thanks for having me.

Second - looking for honest opinions.

Have a '48 3100 project underway. Looking for the right motor to set up in the chassis. Plan on taking the truck in stages. Rolling chassis first, then body work (will finish at the black primer look)

My engine choices have been narrowed down to 250, 292, or vortec 4200. Have a line on a fairly low mileage running 250, an unknown mileage 292, and a really low mileage 4200. While the 250 or 292 would be the easiest, the Vortec has a different appeal

Plan on using the truck as daily driver and runs to local rod events. May tow a small trailer, however I am looking to find the drivetrain to suit my driving needs (cruising + interstate)

Truck will be getting S-10 front suspension, and will be shifted by hybrid T-5 trans (also looking for S-10 T-5 tailhousing and shift rail / top cover)
