do i swap?

hey guys, ill get straight to the story

parked my 90 GTU couple months ago, took me weeks to get it unflooded
finally got it running now it wont stay running. everytime i start her up it jumps to 6G stays there i tap the gas and it starts to slowly die till it dies. i get A LOT of white smoke. it seems to me that this engine is dying

i need some suggestions on a cheap engine swap. or do i need one????

ill be doing the swap myself...
does a 350 work?

thanx for all the help!

if a lot of white smoke is coming out of the exhaust then it's most likely a BAD coolant seal. You have to tear the engine apart to get to the seals so you might as well rebuild. Go turbo or get out. Get that "will a 350 fit in there?" crap out of your head.

If you truly want a v8 in there then check the correct forum.

should have thrown acid in his face, and lit his truck on fire while dacing to the full "zoom zoom zoom" song.
