Engine Choices- Another ?

Leaning toward a flat.

I may know of a chebby powered Hallet Vdrive cruiser that is going to become available out yonder... I will try to check the status and let U know if U wish...

I personally like the 385 series (429/460) fords as a work horse but finding the parts to bolt one in an UNpowerd hull is going to be a challenge and require some fab work by someone... Ask me how I know...

I would look for the HULL you want, in the CONDITION you are looking for, with the UPDATES/hardware you are comfortable with (Vdrive/prop release/strut/shaft/etc....) and then decide based on that rather than just deciding mainly on the engine...

The early ford FEs are great/stout...

Just finding all of the hardware to bolt in a ford OR do a conversion is a challenge... The chebby parts are everywhere apparently, I know that I have a set not in use and I'm not a chebby guy in the least...

Odds are that what you find will be a chebby, and like others have said, thhey are the least expensive so I'm told...
