Re: 1957 chevy family truck
so I came up on a target motor for cheap so I decide to drop her in my truck in the next few weeks. what direction should I go in? stock or custom? I know if I go for the stock look I will have to do some modifying to use all the stock looking parts on a 350 motor

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
Personally I like the old school look. Goes with the rest of the truck.

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
I like both engines, but in your case I would go with Custom, because the truck isn't stock anymore.
I think it will look great when you open the hood and you "see" horsepower!

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
