It is a newer crate engine but I think I need to do a major over haul on it. The last time I drove it the the driver side of the engine seemed to be mis firing and loosing power. There was also a thick grey white smoke coming out of the driver side exhaust pipe it has over 200,000 miles on it.

There is a guy here in town that if I give him my current engine (4 bolt main 350 it hasn't been driven since 1981 and is seized up) from my 69' c20 he will give me a completely rebuilt 350 in its place or give me a deal on a 427. So I'm stuck with the decision of a throaty deep rumble and power of a 427, or just keep rolling with what I have.

I have two goal for this truck only one of them will be achieved. One is to have a sleeper that's had it's paint buffed off get a slight rust color in spots and clear coat it. The other is to have a beautiful show truck black with a bright red pearlescent top coat.
