but if your going to drive the wheels off it, you can't beat the mpg of the fuel injected motor
it also depends on what you need for cali emissions
truk has a ramjet 350, gm crate motor with a stand alone wiring harness
there's also the e-rod motors that are california emissions ready with cats
pricey choices but again it's all what you plan to do with the truck

No smog necessary. Its a 51, so its pre 74. No smog required (thank God, its bad enough I have to smog my Powerstroke now). I don't know if driving the wheels off it is going to happen, but I would certainly like to drive it a fair amount.
