Joe, I think we will be going with her original small block, since it came from her first truck, which her grandfather had owned before her. Back in 1993, I was driving that truck to work when it decided to drop a valve seat. It was at that point when we put the 454 in her truck and I rebuilt the 350 to use in the '57. When I went to the Dodge chassis and running gear, I pulled her 350 back out and stored it, sealed up and out of the weather.

In the long run, we may go with an LS motor in her truck, but we will keep her 350 no matter what.
