Hey all. I've got a '69 1/2 ton with a 250 I-6 in it that I'm getting ready to restore. I've figured out just about everything I want to do to the truck, except for the engine. I've been kicking around several different ideas, and just can't decide if I want to keep the 6, overhaul and modify it, or scrap it and swap in a V-8. If I keep the 250, I plan to modify it into a 292 and put a different cam in it, along with a set of headers and a 4bl intake manifold. If I go the V-8 route, I'll most likely build a 383 for the truck. The thought of converting to diesel has also crossed my mind.
So, what I'm asking is what do you think would be the best route to take? Any input will be greatly appreciated.
