    Far out from making the plunge yet piecing it together in my head. What do y’all feel is the best engine (or series of engine) for a new O/O to start out with?

    Would be running coils and assundries in and around Chicago.

    Chevy 5.3 Vortec. Plenty of power and almost 20 mpg. Unfortunately I can't get one in a big rig.
