@AdmiralYoda I just want this to be nice enjoyable ride when I am in it. I want when I get in it starts with not any issues. This idea of electronic fuel injection sounds great. I have to learn more about it let my buddy know what I want. If I leave it up to him, I will have some 500-600 hp...

@TPK Yes that is it. 18 MPG sounds wonderful. I want to drive this thing, it just will not be lots. I live several thousand miles away. @AdmiralYoda My lack of knowledge here may be the issue. I figured when rebuilding an engine that one would just automatically also get new fuel pump, starter...

Ok this is now all over the place. I gave what I thought to be pertinent details but it seems to have created more questions than answers. Hopefully this clears up all the confusion. Probably not it will just make more questions. :) I live on out west but my home is the deep south. I go home...

The engine that is in it now is not functional at all. It is a 350.

The mechanic that is doing the work is a high school buddy. I do not know what you define as old guy but he is pushing 50. He is the mechanics instructor at local school. That is why I do not have to pay for labor.

This is my dad's old truck that I am trying to get back on the road. Otherwise I would just buy anything. I will only drive it when I am at home a few times a year. He will drive it from time to time that is it. HAHA... I need to go faster than 45. It is 60 miles to the nearest walmart, lowes...

As far as I know it is what it was at stock. If it has been changed I do not know. The labor cost to do the swap will be minimal. I will mainly only have to pay for parts. Does that change anything?

I want to say 5000 miles a year on it but more realistic would be 2 or 3k.

Not sure what you mean by that.

Yes, I am talking about the 3.6. Assuming I go with the 5.3, how or is there a way to accomplish this while getting decent gas mileage?

I do not know if this is the forum for this but I am hoping someone here will be able to help me. I have a 77 C10 that I want to get up and running. It originally had a 6 cylinder and currently has a 350 that was put in sometime during the late 80s or early 90s. While that is a great engine the...
