Hello from Illinois!!

[JnJJunk]

I yall. 18 year old scrapper from Illinois here. I recently bought a 1970 C10 with a 307/3 speed saginaw. I fell in love with these trucks when I was 13 and a guy in my neighborhood had a 67 c30 camper special, with a 327. I still plan on owning a truck just like it. But for now I will drive this 70.

Anyways in the process of tearing down this 307 we discovered a broken piston skirt. I have decided to not rebuild this 307 and just put it in the corner since it is numbers matching. I figured if I am going to be putting a new motor in I might as well make some more power.

I am looking at the Goodwrench 350, the 260 (195) hp and the 290 hp. From reading on here I have discovered that the 290 just has a bigger cam, bigger price tag, and a smaller warranty.

I was going to go with the 290 because I was looking for a slight lope and some more power. I want something fun to drive but still reliable that I can afford. So what is everyone's experiences on those motors.

Look forward to meeting you all.

(I know its not customary to ask questions on the first post, but I would appreciate any help I could get.)

Thanks Everyone!
