montana's not an emission state anyway...but either way, i'm selling my 3 pick-ups to a friend so he can make a stump jumper and a firewooding truck from two of them, and i'm currently going to concentrate on my bronco....getting it in good shape, physically and mechanically, and from there, will find something newer (mebbe, we'll see...that word skeers me) that's in better shape to make a "pretty truck"

Two things, I've had experience with both the 292 y-block and 223 I six niether of which would I recomend unless you are looking to rebuild a truck back to show room condition like it just rolled out of the dealership. They are very heavy and extreamely under powered. and my second question is where in Montana are you from? I'm from Kalispell, but I'm stationed down in monterey, ca.

the older engines are heavy but only about a hundred pounds newer engine are cheaper to build power out of due to parts availibility the y blocks need modifying to correct designed flaw but not real expensive
