Which small block?
I have come across two different small blocks from guys I work with, a 265 chevy and a 360 dodge. Both are fairly inexpensive, but I am not familiar with especialy dodge motors. Both have about 80k miles and both run well. Im assuming I could get more power out of the 360, but is it harder to get parts for, find a transmission, work on, things like that? Also, I kinda thought that the 360 would have higher torque versus higher HP. Any thoughts would be great.

It's been done literally thousands of times, is well understood, has a large parts supply available and performance parts for the 350 Chevy is un-matched by any other make. The Dodge will be un-charted territory and the 265 Chevy would be a waste of time in my opinion. You can pick up a complete 350 Chevy with under 80k miles in almost any major city junk yard for practically chump change. There's no shortage of Chevy full size trucks being hauled in on a regular basis. |
