Looking for Recommendations on building this motor to put in my pick up truck 96 Ford. At 154 wheel drive, there is a 50 leader motor in it. Now I want to build the 58. Any suggestions would be appreciated

A few questions first that will help everyone give a more calculated response:
What kind driving will you be doing with this rig?

How much power are you looking to make?

How much are you able to spend?

Use a roller block, good set of aluminum heads, and stroke it.
