350 or inline 6???

[louaxtjr]

I'd consider the 292 inline 6. Just completed an overbored 292 with Offy intake, Holley 4 barrel and true dual exhaust in my 69 longbed fleet and I am amazed at the torque. Makes for a fun-to-drive truck that is capable of good fuel economy with the right transmission/rear end gearing. Mine was done on a budget and with durability a priority.

Yes, V-8's are easier to come by, but there is a surprising amount of info and parts available for the inlines if you know where to look. Check out http://www.stoveboltengineco.com/

Good luck!
