For me I would have rather had the h55 with the original engine or maybe a 3fe. That's a good use of money and effort IMO and probably the sweet spot for value. The 5.3 with the 4 speed or now perhaps the 6 speed auto is a completely different animal and if money were no object I would be all...
350 didn't feel like a whole lot more power than the original power plant to be honest. It was a very modest upgrade at best. More importantly the gearing for the h55 felt wrong for the power band. 2nd gear was too low and 3rd too high for and average corner. It always felt like I was searching...
I've owned a 60 with a 350 and the h55. Not the best engine swap IMO. Still it's a good looking truck and BAT prices are nuts so it will likely sell at a premium

Was this not fixed by the member who did the rust repair because you guys ran out of steam? Or is it too hard to fix? Or did it pop up since the other rust was repaired?
Also what does
On the engine mean?
Thanks
