Customs ‘60 F100

This is strictly a non scientific survey and all of your answers should be based on either emotion or technical knowledge or some third adulteration of thinking....
I have accumulated two complete 1960 F100s along with some extra parts and plan to combine the two to make a nice retromod driver.
The question at hand is, one is equipped with the stock 292 and a three on the tree, the other has a 1971 351 C4 combination. Which one would you use and why?

I have a 351 Cleveland in my '50 Ford coupe. HRP

 

292 is a great engine and looks cool but can’t compete with a 351.
Just depends on the look ya want.
The 292 is a little more expensive especially for speed parts.
All that being said I would use the 292. I could care less about going fast.

 

I'd use the y block and tranny in a different project...say, something much older

 

I would use the one thats already in the truck that I was gonna use if they are both equally good.
However that might be the lazy hack way without putting too much thought or effort into it
Wouldnt mind seeing pics of your trucks if ya got any

 

351/C4, better for hauling and easier to locate parts.

 

How about keeping the three on the tree, with the 351 in front of it?

 

I would use whichever on is in the best condition, and if they are equal, I would go with the 351/C4, because it will haul more.... ass I like faster, myself, but would save myself some work if one is in better shape than the other.

 

Cleveland.
