Re: your guys thoughts
First off, let me say, Welcome to the board! Secondly, Dude, keep the 402. They are great engines. 350's are just cheap and easy to build and buy. Big blocks are generally more expensive to build than small blocks, but the extra torque is worth it. Is it the original engine for the truck? Got any pics of your truck?
