Question What would you do?

have a newly acquired 66 swb, 2wd, std, 352, slick

updating so it can be a daily driver.

looking for suggestions on what engine/trans combo to put in her.

not looking for the fastest ride on the street, but want to stick with a standard, on the floor and a dependable (crate) engine (302/390?) for long term reliability and preformance.

Also, can anyone recommend a shop that specializes in this kind of work? Live in the mid-west but willing to ship if there is no-one local. Have found a few rod shops, but they don't specialize and it would most likely have to be done piece-meal.

preciate any suggestions

NH

Keith Craft FE 390:

525hp, 550ft-lbs, runs on pump gas. Plus it'll bolt up to your transmission.

Or you could save a lot of money and do it yourself. Visit the FE forum...
