My cheapest (install) route would be to drop in a running 50's 235 and next a sbc/auto combo both carb'd versions. A little diesel would be sweet but people 'round here are holding on to them. I see a few vortec v6's and even 5.3L chevy's, these could be tuned or tweeked but then install costs get in the way. I'm liking the little D idea, though; I just don't know anything about which ones are good. I see a few good running 6.2L chevys around cheap but...I don't know Diesels.
