I finally am able to buy a second vehicle to do some much needed major work on the truck. one of the options I'm looking at is rebuilding an engine so I can do a fast swap.
the spare I have is a late model 235 from a car. It has hydraulic lifters. Is the cam from the truck engines, with solid lifters, ground to give more torque? I do want the torque and obviously have no interest in a racing engine. should I replace the hydraulic lifters and cam from the car engine with solid lifters and a solid lifter cam?
besides all that, the rest should be good to go, right? the cylinder walls are nice so I won't go oversize (budget doesn't allow for machining anyway). It's got the 848 head so that's good.
any other advice to consider when reworking a passenger car engine to a truck engine? thanks!
