I just want it to be a run around truck, gas mileage isnt a huge issue. Id just put a mostly stock 350 in it. I want a manual transmission, havent quite decided which one exactly. I was thinking a 5 speed from a 90s chevy but those are hydraulic.
One of the main reasons I want a V8 is because I have tons of parts for them. Inline 6's and parts for them are pretty hard to find where Im at. Id rather just stick with what I can replace and get parts for easily.
