Re: Original 307 or drop in a 350?

I would do the 350 all of your stuff will be a direct bolt on like the alt bracket and the all important power steering bracket.If that was a concern I thought that was a question in your mind, and the other was the value of the truck, well the truck was originally stock with one and it will still look and perform as or just maybe a touch off from stock and 99 out of 100 people would pay more money for a truck with a 350 engine in it than one with a 307. These trucks aren't like high dollar muscle cars that we wish they were the factory motor isn't as important as it to truck as it is to those high dollar cars. Now don't get me wrong here if I'm am gonna buy a short wide super 402 400 orange white orange and white[my dream truck] I'll want all the right stuff like it is supposed to be. but for every day trucks or just once in a while enjoyment or even some thing to beat and flog on the addition of a different motor, especially one to make it more useable and enjoyable is perfectly fine and value wise.
