I have had a string of bad fortune (costing a fortune too) with my 1950 3100 pick up. I have had three 235 engines in it and nothing is working right. I am ready to swap out to a more modern engine and rear axle. I am not interested in peeling the tires off the wheels or impressing anyone with chrome. I just need a daily driver that will not hold up traffic on the freeway. Gas mileage is a thought too. Should I go with a V6 or V8? And if it is a V6 what year, size? I thought about buying a 90's S-10 pickup and use the engine, rear axle and such from that.
