It's your stuff and money but at the end of the day what do you want?
Personal question but how much do you want to spend?
My budget is about $1000. Probably not enough to rebuild a motor.

There’s a 305 V6 that I could pick up locally for about $300. If I did, I would probably just try and get it running and see how it goes. I wouldn’t mind taking a few months to get it rebuilt. I just don’t know a shop I can trust.

I think I might do the disc brake thing first - I have a cross member from a 74 C20, just need to buy a steering gear and PS pump/bracket.

Also, I have a chance to buy that 305 V6, which you don’t see everyday. So, maybe I should jump on that even if I have to let it sit in my garage for a while before popping it in.

I guess my patience is a little short. But, that’s another story.
