Great thread/poll idea

My '69 had a big block... But now it's getting a bigger BIG BLOCK

Hamjet - I love your 348! I get a kick out of it every time I see a pic of that engine - COOL!

I guess diesel swaps get mixed in with the last option on the list

And that's how we roll Tim.

Ah, to spend others money...

My truck has a 1981 cali only caprice/Camaro 305 145 hp wonder..
Soon to be replaced by a 350 vortec

If I ever have money burning a hole in my wallet, I'll finish my 489..

TwoFiftyShifter · 12-29-2016, 06:32 PM

My truck is a original 307 truck. It has a worn out 350 with headers and an RV cam.in it. I plan to put a crate small block in it. I'd go big block but I am fond of the 3 speed manual trans and a big motor might be too much torque for it!

5567Cruiser · 12-29-2016, 06:47 PM

1972 C10 350 transplanted in a 1967 CST with 60,000 original miles.

wow there are a lot of good looking motors on here. Like horsepower porn. Here is my 2 cents. 383 stroker motor

TXBoudy · 12-29-2016, 09:05 PM

SB400

I had every intention to build an LS C10 but when I finally found one the previous owner had just completed a very nice motor build so it's gonna stay.

ratty69 · 12-29-2016, 10:08 PM

Ex tbi 350 for now. When the rest of the truck is as good as realistically possible, then a BOPC big block of some sort. Backed by a manual, of course!

I voted LS... but its actually a LQ9...

88fordf150 · 12-30-2016, 10:59 AM

Little ol 454 with a huffer.

**special-K** · 12-30-2016, 11:52 AM

Let's just vote and show/talk about what we have without making comparisons or judgements of one vs the other. Well, unless you want to get me started

Live and let live and I like them all. There is a current trend I chose not to follow, but I have nothing against others going that route. I may one day but see no reason to now

Lol! I think we already had that debate once!

AMERICAN PICK-UP · 12-30-2016, 12:32 PM

502 Here..

FRCvette · 12-30-2016, 02:07 PM

I had a street rod before the c10 that was Ls6 powered and it was great.

Got the c10 with small block 350 and feel it is just as great. No plans for change.

07SSSC · 12-30-2016, 03:17 PM

The 68 has it's original 327 which needs rebuilt, the 69 has a hot little 383 stroker currently, will go LS (and turbo maybe) eventually.

**basketcase** · 12-30-2016, 04:26 PM

Mildly built 355 with Turbo 400. 9.3 cr. GM Performance flat tappet cam, ported, Mallory ignition ect. It should be a nice street engine.

Thanks, they probably are, mine was built in Flint, got more pics?

Willie Makeit · 12-30-2016, 07:11 PM

5.3 with LSA top end. Will NEVER own another 1st gen small block ... or a big block.

**special-K** · 12-31-2016, 12:03 AM

I guess I never posted what I have. I could have sworn I did after I voted. Anyway, I have an outdated numbers correct 350 in my outdated '72 K2500...about 300hp now. And, for my '67 SWB I am building to be an era correct hot truck I built a high nickle large journal 327 to 325hp. Here it is:
