I got a 350 in my '71 C-20 and I am getting really sick of it...........Has no guts(IMO) and is hard on fuel. We use it on the farm and I really need more low end torque. I have looked at building up another 350, but I am tired of working on V-8's

(Been wrenching on a Cummins "Triple Trouble, 555 for the entire summer!)...................I got a 250 six to bolt in, along with a granny 4spd.........Would this work? I don't want to hack anything up since I would put the 350/ 3spd back in when I restore it..................I'd really like to put a 4-71 Detroit in it, but I haven't found one

I know I am crazy................About Sixes!
