Re: Polishing a turd...or Project It Just Needed a Clutch!

Lookin' good! That'll be one sharp plow truck, thats for sure.

And good choice with the 292. Even if it was better running than the 350...if this is going to be used like a truck, low speeds...grunt work...In my opinion, the six with it's 4.125 inch stroke is your best bet. Not to mention easy to work on.

Lookin to good to push that freakin white stuff! Well if you got to do it, it might as well be in a real truck, right? Are you looking for a big block 305e v6? Not sure what i will be doing with mine.

I had a 76 nova with a 250 I6 one time, and it ran good, but the worst 350 Ive ever had was better than the I6 in that nova, lol.
I'm With him. Wouldn't it be better to put in a big block or another 350? More power for that plow?

Good job, and I like the 292 idea also!! In fact I have been wanting to swap the 350 in my 67 to a 292!!
