What engine would you rather have in your truck

crazy longhorn · 07-27-2002, 09:46 PM

I have to say other,Im still partial to the 455 Olds

68 Suburban · 07-27-2002, 09:52 PM

You need to put the famous 327 in there.

**BOSS** · 07-27-2002, 10:01 PM

i love my 350 but would rather have a 454 any day.......

69C10Atl · 07-27-2002, 10:31 PM

I think I'll stick with the 350.

Longhorn Man · 07-27-2002, 10:35 PM

I'll be sticking to other too.

Big69C20 Toy · 07-27-2002, 10:42 PM

Blown, nitro 572 Hemi.

**StingRay** · 07-27-2002, 11:15 PM

Ramjet 502 please.

Tyler_69C10 · 07-27-2002, 11:19 PM

I'm going with the 327. Juuussttt right.

palallin · 07-28-2002, 12:17 AM

I *have* a 327, and I love it. If I had unlimited money, I'd yank it for a Tall-Deck 427, and put the 327 in another truck, prob. a SWB.

CE20934 · 07-28-2002, 12:47 AM

Where's the 400? That's what I have & I like it. Of course, BBCs are good too. The only one I got to drive was a '66 C60 dump truck with a 366. Sloooooooooooooooooooooooow truck. Much torque though (more through gearing than that engine I'd say).

*67Fleetsidedream* · 07-28-2002, 10:28 AM

I am with Stingray. Ramjet 502 all the way.

HvyChevy454 · 07-28-2002, 11:04 AM

NuBomb · 07-28-2002, 11:26 AM

Me too. I want the new 572 I just saw on trucks. That thing looks awesome.

mooneyes · 07-28-2002, 04:21 PM

hows about a 377?..i always liked the big bore small stroke compared to the big stroke small bore

**Desert Rat** · 07-28-2002, 04:21 PM

Id settle for a 504,496,or 540

67cst · 07-28-2002, 04:34 PM

obviously if money wasnt an object i would go as big as possible, but with my budjet id have to stay with a sb

Super Chevy · 07-28-2002, 05:11 PM

I voted non-chevy (cadillac hehe) because everybody and their brother has a 350 in their trucks

Pumkin Truck · 07-28-2002, 06:08 PM

True that ! Super Chevy!!! W2G!!! Everyone does indeed have a sbc (nothing wrong with that) but if you go big block,..go all the way (factory produced speaking) Can't wait for me to start rebuilding my 500 that is just sitting in my garage. In due time

Cyco Path · 07-28-2002, 07:38 PM

Whats wrong with the 283? Nobody voted for it. I voted 350 before I looked at the poll, otherwise I'd give that lil ol 283 a vote.
My dad has a 283 in his 66 1 ton dually dump truck. Runs damn good.
