All depends what you have for an engine. Either a 283 or 348. If you have the 348(just my opion) I would keep it , although the 283 were nice engines too. It's really what you perfer.Keep smiling, it only hurts when you think it does!

I agree man. I mean we really don't know much about what you got now. For all I know it's a 235 I6 and a three on the tree. What kinda tranny you got nad what are you tryin' to do with the truck? Do you want a hot rod or a driver, a work truck maybe? Nothin' wrong with a new motor, but depending on your intentions something else may work just as well.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
