Which Motor
 

Which motor should I rebuild for my 71.Right now it has the 390 in it.Thinking of keeping the 390 and rebuild it.But would like you guy opinon on which motor you guy would chioce

Go with a 460 gobs of torque

My opinon???? not to often anyone asks :rolleyes: Well just what are your plans for the truck and how are you going to use it? If its going to be a driver and you want to have some fun with it I would lean towards the Windsor. Lots of performance parts available to build it into whatever power range you want. Less weight in the nose so it will handle better than if you had all the weight of a big block up front. If built right you could still get halfway decent gas mileage (if you can even use that term on these trucks) outa her.
Dont get me wrong, I love the 385 series and even run one in my truck but for everyday use a windsor can be more than enough.

460 for sure

460 would make an awsome ride

I would say the 444E diesel now thats a real engine, gas is for little girls :-missingt

I will agree DIESEL YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

No Diesel.Not in a half ton two wheel drive pickup.That going to be a hotrod

I guess i might as well keep the 390 and build it.Like Bore .30 put flat top piston.Shave the heads and put bigger valve in them.Put a good cam in it with a little hit to it.And headers and a bigger carb like a 750.Maybe more still thinking about what else.

Tony, Drop in the 460 so you can peel the paint off the ricers. }> :-innocent

im sure when I get the 390 done it will do it too.

either way ci can't be beat.

OK Cliff my 444E against a 460, bout it big boy :-X07

Sure after you rebuild it with the parts I want.}>
