Unhappy

im looking to drop a ford 302 into my 86 b2000 but ive got a few problems with the frame. if my neighbor can wrap it for a decent amount of money i just might let him do it. what im wondering is, would droping the 302 in the truck a good idea or should i just focus on getting the 4 cylinder running better.

Considering gas prices, and the cost involved in doing a swap of any nature, I would say get the 4 cyl going, but, thats just me. If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask

wow a b series with a v8 would be nice. though if its a daily driver i would reconsider it or get a v6 or fix the 4 cyl., for the same reason that Still said. A once in a while truck with it would be awesome.

a v8 b is nice. i have one i built mildly for street/strip use. it does middle 11's in the quarter. but if its a daily driver, your best bet would be fix 4 cyl
