Personally I'd have to think it is rather lame to pull a good strong running engine out a car to stick one in that's only plus is nostalgia rather than practical. Build it for an older rig out of the 50's and spend the money to bring it up to snuff with camel hump heads that have had hard seats put in and a good cam = Bonus.

lame or not.....it's not prudent to put a 16 year old kid in 400 HP truck....
If I wanted to wake it up, I'd cam it, stick a set of Vortec heads and matching aluminum intake...again...not for a 16 year old with little driving experience...
