89 ram50 v8 swap
Hey you guys, i got my first project truck. im planning on putting a v8 into my 50. but im not sure what engine is best to go with. id like to go with a 350 or a 454. does anyone have any opinions on to which motors are better and easier for the converstion? as to which motors are harder to work with.
anything helps guys. i want to really get this truck on the strip. but i have to know how to put my motor into it.

Well first of all it might help if you put a Mopar Motor in it instead of a GM motor. 
I have seen a 50 with a 440, but that was a lot of work. Go with a maybe a 360 or a different Small Block.
