Well I am at a crossroads. I was going to go with a 454 but have decided to sell the truck at a later time and would like to keep the 454 for myself. here lies the questions. I have two options, one is an old 350 that I take and get machined and make it a 383 buy the rotating assemble and go on my way or I have a newer 5.3 with less that 30km on it. Which engine should I use? I would like to consider the option that would make the truck more valuable, what do you all recommend? Info on the truck, it is a 70 lwb 4x4 and will be using a 700r4/ np241. I would like to run 35''x16'' tires as well.
