    I think using a 348 would be unique and very cool in your truck. I have on built up for my 59 Impala. Its bored 60 over forged pistons, high peroformance camshaft and some other goodies. I cant wait to fire it up . Just have to wait to win the lottery lol so I can buy the rest of the things it needs. One thing to consider is like Hotrodpaint pointed out its a huge block and weighs a ton. You also might even have to do some suspension uprades to make up for the weight ? I actully had my cherry picker bend when I pulled the original 348 from my Impala! The cast iron powerglide that was attatched to it probally had a little to do with that also lol.
