Can I swap in a more modern engine/transmission combination to replace a 460/C-6?
I love the combo of the 400 HP and stump pulling torque of the 460 V-8 hooked up to a bulletproof C-6 automatic trans. but it's rapidly approaching the time once again to overhaul them both and I'm wondering if there's some modern engine\transmission combo that performs as well as the 460\C-6 but gets better than 5 MPG that I can find in a wrecked vehicle in a junkyard, overhaul, then install in my truck instead.
