Hey everybody,
I'm driving an F150 with a 289, 3speed on the floor. I have the unique opportunity to be able to purchase any new engine and transmission currently still in production at an extremely low cost and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what would be a good setup for highway driving. I want to stay small block V8 and standard shift. I have heard that a 5L 5Speed from the Mustang is bitchin', but I don't think I want to hassle with the FI. Any ideas? Do they still make a naturally aspirated engine?

Hey Rick, you might try a 302, that should work real well. If you have trouble finding one just let me know.
