i dont like my engine, V8 swap?
okay, so i am 16 years old with a decent amount of mechanical background and i know a little something about vehicles, how much $$ would it take to put a decent 302 or 289 in my pickup? im tired of going slow and gas mileage really doesnt bother me. another option would be to soop up my 3.0 to the max. which is cheaper and which is easier and most importantly, which one will make it go faster??

You can get ready made parts to swap the V8 in, still takes time and some work, transmission makes a difference, stick or auto, also 2wl or 4.
