Needs torque.
I have an '86 Silverado and plan to eventually swap out the motor, transmission, and rear end. Does anyone have thoughts on a setup that would generate a good amount of torque? And what would be a good idea to swap first? I'm looking for something to help in the "get up and go" dept.

You could always go the old school route and throw in a stout small block with whatever 3 speed auto of your choice. Or if you want, you can switch to a Gen 3 small block. You can find complete motors cheap if you search around. A friend of mine found a 6.0 out of a wrecked 3/4 ton for 500 bucks. It came complete with everything engine related, right down to the fuse panel. It will be going in a mid 80s 2 wheel drive pickup with a Turbo 400. Right now it is just a bare frame with new paint. Should be interesting, especially since he just bought my old supercharger. Whatever you choose, remember, torque is your friend.
