that poor 350... btw: I'm planning on swapping a 350 into my truck in place of the 262 v6 it currently has.

Those 262's have decent pep if memory serves...Nothing like the 350 though :D

[amdrules770]

Yup, it has decent power, will beat most of the little 4 banger econoboxes, and will lay some rubber. But it isn't in the same league as a V8, so I'm gonna swap in a 350.

5 speed stick or auto on that 6?
Going with a TH350 on that 350 or something more modern maybe?

Has a 5 speed NV3500 manual, going to keep it with the 350. I like shifting.
