Choosing A Motor...

Hi pal, years ago I had a 66 coupe with a 302, I pulled took to shop had it honed and cleaned up, put it all together with new rotating assy, bought some 351w heads and had them freshend up, nice sized cam, that thing screamed. just my 2 cents worth. Also you could drop about 2k and put a Wiend 177 ci SC on it. Total kit and it makes a big diff. I have one on my 383 stroker in my 68 c-10 swb. Good luck

Thanks for the input man. I found a guy with a complete 351w from 1970 that needs to be rebuilt for $250, so I think i'm gonna get it. From what I hear, the block from that year is strong and those DOOE heads are pretty good for street application. Your truck sounds awesome. I've always wanted an older chevy shortbox to do something like what you've done
