350 engine

I have a stock 350 from a 69/70 c10, and want to build an engine for my 68 c30. Don't care about HP but would like to get all the torque out of it that I can.
What build s torque in a motor, do I have to put have a lot of hp to get torque, or should I just go with a big block engine?

If you want torque and don't mind filling your tank, there's no way to beat a big block.

Agree with this. Not terribly expensive either.
