350 engines are plentiful, might be worth a try.

V-8 is fine. Many people do that swap. But why is the V-6 so far gone? Parts are still available for it. And they are just a tad bit unique anymore.

I'd say a 350/700r4 out of 90-99 pickups or 4.8/5.3/4l60e out of 99-up Chevy trucks. Those V6 parts can be pricey when you find them.

sure....350 engines are cheap and easy.. but very boring.. find a old 270 or 302 gmc.. with a bit of sprucing up they are dependable and powerful and will draw the attention of any car guy


if you cant run with the big dogs...then stay on the porch
