    Engine survey

    So if you've read my 55' special thread you know I'm about to drop a Ford 302 with c6 in it and a nova rear. Being around family for holidays, they all have opinions. I have a few other power plants laying around and was wondering if I could get some votes before I cut and weld anything.....

    1. 302 Ford V8 with c6

    2. 6.2 Chevy diesel with 700r4

    3. Benz diesel with auto

    Keep in mind, I'm not looking for performance, just everyday drivability

    between the diesels, my preference would be the Chev simply due to less expensive parts and better availibility if nothing else.

    clearly, you're not afraid to put a LOT of work into this.
