Hello!! I recently purchased a '55 Chevy pickup. It definitely needs a lot of work and I am planning to take it down to the frame and built it back. The engine needs to be rebuilt. I am trying to decide if I should have the engine rebuilt or install a crate engine with more HP. Either way I go...someone else will be doing the work.

I am torn between preserving the truck as true as possible to original or putting a more beefy engine..thoughts??
