ok thinking of buying a 63' uni with a 264 as he puts it..."motor is a 264 industrial 6 cylinder that has been vatted (acid dipped) the block has been honed the cylinders in great shape bran new rings bearings cam bearing the lifters have been machined and the rods shot peened. all the manifold cleaned. It has all new gaskets, seals,clutch, pressure plate, the fly wheels been researfaced".... any thoughts? Will this get me going FAST??? if not any suggestions on what i should drop in?

no such thing as a 264. there is a 262, these are not made for speed but if its in like new condition it will get you around and not break the wallet at the fuel station.

Depends on what you want to do with it.

Could be that a bored out 262 is a 264.. I have heard .030 over 302's referred to as 306's before..
not sure if it's accurate

Definitely not a drag racing engine... they ARE rare in Pickups. One year only.. 1964

one year in the pickups.
61-64 in the bigger trucks.

still pretty rare , would not throw it away even if you decided to go for something bigger.
