Straight 6 or V8??

[David67]

Hey I've got the original 292 in my '67 short stepside and I am moderately hot rodding the truck. I kind of want to keep the 292 and try and build that up a little because it is a torque monster and it has a very unique sound. I also like the fact that it would be different in a sense that most people just throw a small block or big block in it and call it done. Can this engine be built up(at a reasonable price) to make my truck be pretty fast? Tell me what yall think.
