I might do a 5.0, maybe a small stroker, like a 317... Not sure if i want to turbo it, I may just leave it NA and cruise it. I have other stuff that is fast (lightning and zx12r) and I really do not want to dump a ton into the suspension to handle big power. Plus i may sell the car when I am done, not sure if i really want an old car, plus i want to do a plug in electric car for commuting (screw the oil companies).
I have built a few bbf motors and your dad's sounds wicked. My f250 had a 60 over 460 in it with 12:1 comp, made the old truck do 150mph... I then replaced that motor with a 30 over 429 with fully forged bottom end and a lightweight valvetrain. Pity the truck flooded during katrina, need to replace the fuel tank, carb and wiring and get it out on the street again. That truck would easily take a ls1 fireturd, not bad for an 86 f250....
