Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines Best engine for 1950 Chevy P/U?

I'd have to agree with raprap. Although, I would change it to a bigblock. Just my bit of blasphemy for tonight. A 383 stroker would probably fit the bill quite nicely. Tons of low-end torque, tons of aftermarket parts, parts are a dime-a-dozen. Unless you are really partial to a straight six, or have the extra cash to spend, you might want to consider a small block. Just my .02 I hope I wasn't too hard on the inlines. John.
