1970 Ford 302

the body of my pickup is in great shape, but the engine is striped down to the block, it needs to be bored to be used, should i bore it or find a larger engine? i'm not sure what i want to do any suggestions????

What you do depends on how big your check book is. If it was me, I would go with a bigger motor.
