I know some who managed to get a 305 V6 rebuilt somewhere in CA. I wanted it badly...

Re: 1968 351 v-6
The 351 V-6 was the best all-out pulling engine installed in a 67-72 GM truck. As others have said, they are low rpm torque monsters, and are not great on fuel, but not terrible if properly tuned.
The biggest downfall with them is that they need higher gears than normally installed to be good on the highway.
