New Engine for 1980 F-100
I have a 1980 F-100 with the original straight six in it. This was my first vehicle ever and my dad has had it parked in front of his house for years.
At any rate, I've taken it on as my next project vehicle and I was just wondering what everyone would recommend for an engine replacement?
I can get an LT1 and 4L60E out of a 95 Impala SS for pretty cheap and have it setup by a shop that specializes in drive train conversions. I've talked to him about this a bit and he recommends the LT1 for a couple reasons. 1 - In CA the state requries that any engine you put in a vehicle must be newer than the vehicle it is going in to in order to pass emmisions testing. 2 - This specific LT1 is OBD1 and is easier for the shop to work on.
I'm looking for other recomendations. All responces are welcome.

Does anyone else here find it just ROFLMAO type funny that the only reply to the post about putting a ch#vy engine in a FORD truck deals with what will happen with the old engine?!
