Re: Ideas?
It all depends on what you want, your budget and skills. Typically, newer style trucks take less fabrication, repair or replacement parts to turn into a comfortable and dependable daily driver. There is less need to change or rebuild suspension, brakes, differential, or wiring. And with enough budget / skills you can install about any engine you want that will fit.
The 73 to 87 body style is the same and Holley is making a very nice LS swap package simplifying the installation of the later style LS engine and transmission package. That can provide good power, fuel efficiency and reliability.
Also, the 87 model had fuel injection from new. They work well and there may not be a need to change it to meet your desired daily driver needs. Really, same for a carb and points set up when adjusted properly as millions of vehicles used the for years.
Hope that helps a little bit.
