(( 1960-1966 Chevy/GMC Pickup Truck Restoration/Modification/Customization Ideas ))

[Bodenimus]

Wow! These trucks are so far out of my league that I don't know where to start. I have a '66 Chevy C10 SWB pickup that I just want to replace the engine in. It currently has the 250 six cylinder and I want to put a V8 in it. I am not a mechanic and I don't even know where to start ( such as what motor will fit without rebuilding the whole truck ). This truck will be just for everyday driving, not a showpiece. I guess I just want suggestions or comments from someone who has been there before and knows what all I am going to encounter. I have owned the truck for 38 years and it is in very good condition, just needs a new motor. Any help that you may provide will be greatly appreciated.
