If I had to get a new motor how should I go about this. This truck is gonna be my daily driver and I am sure the original 350 is gonna meat its death someday. I would probably need it in a hurry so I probably shouldn't try to rebuild. I would also want to get a engine that would be able to use all of the current parts (alt, starter, dist., ect.)
So... would I want to get a rebuilt 350 that came out of a 67-72?
Or where could I get a new motor that everything would match up without any problems. The ones I see in the catalogs usually say 73 up. How much would that probably cost me?
I am planning ahead so I have a plan for sometime during the next 8 yrs or so while I'm driving my favorite vehicle in the world

I have a 72 Cheyenne 10 with a V8 350 and a TH-350 auto-tranny.
Ochre/White/Ochre
Runs well... working on body.
Plan to get painted weekend before memorial day weekend.
Planned to be done March 7 when I turned 16. Didn't happen. Chose to do better job and be behind schedule instead of 1/2 doing it and it looking like junk.
