I need a new motor for my 1971 truck with 3.73 rearend. I can go with either with a 1989 350 chev truck 180,000 miles/700r4 or 1984 307 buick lesabre 90,000 miles/200r4. I do not pull anything with this truck so the power does not matter to me. I am leaning toward the Buick choice as it has less mileage. My main concern is which would be the easiest to install and get better mileage?
