I have a 1979 Chevrolet 1/2 ton short bed pickup truck. The truck has no engine or tranny. I want this to be a screaming truck. I would prefer to stick with a small block, but will defer to the experts here if they think a BBC would be better. The only requirements that i have are that i want 400-450 HP and for it to be streetable. Also what trasmission would you recommend with this engine. Like i said this is a blank slate and i will go with whichever build idea is the best. I can get a new block or start junk yard hunting if i know what too look for.

thanks in advance

Justin
