[67_C-30]

If money is the issue you could always put the 396 in there use it, since you can get it cheap. If you can swing the extra cash, the 383 would pull better and get better fuel mileage. I took a 396 out my '69 C-30 car (which frequently has loads up to 12K - 15K lbs including the weight of the truck) and swapped in a 383 stroker and it is better in every area. It pulls hills loaded better than the 396 ever did, runs cooler, and gets 4-5 mpg better mileage. I will never own another BBC truck unless it built for all race or is a numbers matching factory big block truck. For something I use and drive though, I'm going with the small block.
