So after more research, and some thinking i have decided to go with either a Ford 302 or a Ford 351Windsor. The cost of the conversion kit for them is the same as a the chevy 350. I am more familiar with the ford motors, and can find a early 80s bronco with either motor for fairly cheap so i could get the entire setup, instead of having to piece it together. They are also both lighter than a Ford 300 I6, and offer more room inside the engine compartment. This mod looks to be scheduled for some time around march or April.
