New Motor

[nroden]

If I had to get a new motor how should I go about this. This truck is gonna be my daily driver and I am sure the original 350 is gonna meat its death someday. I would probably need it in a hurry so I probably shouldn't try to rebuild. I would also want to get a engine that would be able to use all of the current parts (alt, starter, dist., ect.)
So... would I want to get a rebuilt 350 that came out of a 67-72?
Or where could I get a new motor that everything would match up without any problems. The ones I see in the catalogs usually say 73 up. How much would that probably cost me?
I am planning ahead so I have a plan for sometime during the next 8 yrs or so while I'm driving my favorite vehicle in the world

Runs well... working on body.
Plan to get painted weekend before memorial day weekend.
Planned to be done March 7 when I turned 16. Didn't happen. Chose to do better job and be behind schedule instead of 1/2 doing it and it looking like junk.
