kpm:
nice looking machine,I'm thinking you will most likely want to replace the flat head six.They just do not have enough snuff for the wide gauges....

granpasboy:
Right now I am thinking a 350 or a vortec 4.3L. I am not sure what I will choose yet.

Cranman:
If you go for the 350, the engines in mid 90's GM trucks have an oil cooler at least my truck has. It is sort of bolt on extension to the engine block at the oil filter. Would be nice to have in the tough going. May have to use the radiator that came with the truck to solve all the plumbing. If it is 1958, it has the wide air door at the back, right?

kpm:
hmm..if i remember right Bob...they still had the narrow rad door.

FORD F-150:
the 4.3L vortec engine sounds good, was thinking of putting one in the 78 wide. just sticking with the original 318 engine. nothing wrong with it so leaving it the way it is.

I have a chevy silverado 1500 with the vortec engine, and it starts without any problems in -50 degrees celcius without plugging it in
